PREFACE. 


T HE business of this company has so developed, in volume and diversity, 
that it becomes necessary to issue an illustrated catalogue to show the 
products of our shops and foundry and some of the machines and supplies 
which are carried in stock. 

The business was originally founded upon the labors of one man work¬ 
ing as a machinist. The first augmentation of it was the sale of some 
machinery on commission. Then followed some contract work on a small scale. 
Then a little engine and a few machine tools were put into a hired room. Then 
came the making of engineering plans for cotton seed oil mills, cotton mills and other 
industrial works, and the making of contracts to build these complete or to equip 
the buildings with machinery and appliances complete. 

Meanwhile our shops (machine, pattern, and forge), continued to grow. The 
business outgrew the hired building we were in (200 feet long and 3 stories high), 
and we were compelled to erect a new building (200 feet by 4 stories and wider 
than the old one), where we are now lodged. We have also built a foundry for 
making castings for our own shop and for others also.

ADVICE TO CUSTOMERS. 


1. Give specific description and always order by catalogue page and number 
when it is given. Avoid ordering goods “same as last.” 

2. State distinctly how the goods ordered are to be shipped, whether by 
freight, express or mail. If any special route is preferred, it should be mentioned 
on the order, otherwise, we will use our best judgment. 

3. Orders are filled promptly, and great care is used in properly packing 
goods—especially glassware—and obtaining receipts from carriers for delivery in 
good condition. We cannot, therefore, be responsible for goods damaged or lost in 
transportation. All possible precautions, however, will be used to prevent injury or 
delay, and if requested, shipments will be traced. 

4. All claims concerning shipments must be made within five days of the 
receipt of the goods, and should be accompanied by the packing slip, which is for¬ 
warded with each shipment. 

5. When referring to orders, always give the number or date of your order as 
well as the name of the consignee of the goods. 

6. When request is made to return material, or credit claimed for overcharge 
or allowance, the date of our invoice must be given. 

7. Do not return material of any kind without first communicating with us 
and obtaining, 1st, our approval for returning goods, and 2d, the proper shipping 
directions. 

8 . All returned goods must be plainly marked with the name and address of 
the sender, and proper notification of shipment, with copy of shipping receipt, must 
be sent us. 

9. Prices are subject to change without notice, and it is understood that this 
company will in no way be held responsible for such changes. 

10. All prices are listed at point of shipment. Charges for boxing and pack¬ 
ing will be made in accordance with our regular custom. 

11. Cuts of machines shown are from patterns in use at the time this catalogue 
is published. If later, patterns are changed, we reserve the right to ship the latest 
pattern.

Industrial development in the United States has reached a point where the suc¬ 
cess of any enterprise hinges upon bringing to bear upon the construction of a plant 
the accumulated knowledge and experience of the best men in special lines of manu¬ 
facture. 

This can only be done through intelligent Engineers, sufficiently educated to 
entitle them to be considered professional men, and who make the accumulation of 
this knowledge, and data determined by experience, a special study.

Water Gauge with Stand-pipe fitted to 
Boiler, 

Three Gauge Cocks, 

Blow-off Cock, 

Check Valve, 

Stop Valve. 


Galvanized Wire Rope Guys (six times the length of stack). 

Four Wall Brackets, but no loops, are furnished with Full-Arch Front Boiler. 
No. 19 has a special front. 

Wall plates and rollers, and binding bars and rods are all subject to order, and 
are charged extra. 

The width of the grate surface in all cases equals the diameter of the boiler. 

Sawdust grates, six inches longer than regular, will be substituted for the 
regular grates, when ordered, without extra charge. 

Nos. 1 to inclusive have hand-hole in each head below tubes, but no man¬ 
hole in boiler. 

No. 4 to 9 inclusive have hand-hole in each head below tubes, and man-hcle in 
front head over tubes. 

Nos. 10 to 12 inclusive have hand-hole in each head below tubes, and man-hole 
in rear head over tubes. 

Nos. 13 to 19 inclusive have man-hole in front head below tubes, and man-hole 
in rear head over tubes. 

All steam openings 2 y 2 inches and larger are reinforced with a flange. 

All smoke stacks up to and including 28 inches in diameter are No. 16 gauge; 
30 inches, 32 inches and 34 inches in diameter of No. 14, and 36 inches and larger 
of No. 12; if heavier gauge is required, a proportionate charge will be made. 

When two or more boilers, up to No. 7*4 in size, are placed in a battery and de¬ 
signed to run separately, the fronts, smoke connection, etc, are arranged for a 16-inch 
division wall; boilers up to No. iof^, 20-inch and larger sizes, 24-inch division wall. 
Any deviation from the above must be noted in order. 

Note. —Any change in the length of boilers necessitates a change in the length of 
grates, making them correspond in length to grates used under boilers having same 
length of tubes. 

Proper credit or charge to be made for this change.

Regular Plain Grate. 

This Grate is sent unless otherwise specified. 




The Regular Plain Grate is usually furnished with boilers; if, however the 
Tupper of Sawdust Grate is preferred, either style may be substituted without 
extra charge. Sawdust Grates are six inches longer than Regular. 1 he width of the 
grate surface, in all cases, equals the diameter of the boiler 

In ordering grate bars state length wanted and width of furnace. 

We make patterns and cast bars of any design on order.

CORLISS ENGINE REPAIRS 

AND OTHER HEAVY REPAIRS. 


We send out men to indicate Corliss Engines (or any other engines for that 
matter), and determine to what extent they are in order or out of order. With the 
data obtainable on the ground, we can figure what an engine ought to do in the 
way of developing power and consuming steam which it takes fuel to make. We 
can tell how far it is failing to do what it ought to do and we can make an estimate 
of cost necessary to make the engine do what it ought to do. 

We have made in our machine shop a full set of boring bars to bore any Corliss 
cylinder. We have overhauled several engines of one thousand horse power and 
over, and many smaller ones In every case our work has given the very best satis¬ 
faction. 

We are in position to do any repairs on a Corliss or any other engine. When 
necessary, we make new valves from patterns made in our own pattern shop and 
from castings made in our own foundry. 

Our facilities have been very materially enlarged, our organization very mater¬ 
ially enlarged and the field of work we cover very materially extended. We seek 
heavy repair jobs. We are fixed with men and tools to take good care of work en¬ 
trusted to us. 

If you do not know whether your engine is giving you satisfactory results, let us 
send a man to “indicate” it and report on it. After that we can tell you how it is 
doing and if not doing right, we can tell you what to do about it and how much it 
will cost to fix it right.

Class B is without Automatic Stop and Class A with Automatic Stop. Prices on sizes from 12 to 16 
inches inclusive will be sent on application. Standard Class A Governors are not made in sizes 
smaller than 1%. 


IN ORDERING. 

In all orders for Governors be particular to state the size; if plain or finished; 
the style, Spring or Standard; the class, A or B ; and the kind of openings wanted 
in chamber. If Class A is wanted, specify whether for horizontal or vertical en¬ 
gine, as a special design is necessary when wanted for vertical engine. 

REPAIRS. 

All Governors are made in duplicate, so that new parts can be supplied for 
those worn or broken. As many changes have been made in the patterns, it is al¬ 
ways best to send broken or worn parts for duplication; but if this be not con¬ 
venient, give the trade number of the Governor, which, if of the Standard style, 
will be found stamped upon side of the head, and if of the Spring, on the flange 
of the frame.

WE OVERHAUL ENGINES, 

USING OUR 

PORTABLE BORING MACHINE. 


Have your cylinders bored in place, thereby saving time and expense. 


The cut on the opposite page shows our Latest Improved Portable Cylinder 
Boring Machine, boring a cylinder 48 inches in diameter by 60 inches stroke at 
Dallas Mfg. Co., Huntsville, Ala. We claim this bar is a decided improvement 
over the many boring bars now in use, thereby insuring the accuracy of the work, 
and at the same time quicker in operation, which lessens the cost materially. 
This machine is designed for re-boring all makes and sizes of engine cylinders, 
pumps, Corliss valves, large wheels, etc. It will bore with one or both cylinder 
heads off, either vertical or horizontal. It is so constructed that the piece being 
bored serves as a support of the bar. It is only necessary to take off the cylinder 
head and remove piston, then the cylinder can rapidly and accurately be bored out. 
This saves breaking the steam joints, etc., and often a cylinder can be re-bored in 
less time than it would take to remove the cylinder from its bed. 

It is absolutely necessary that the cylinder should be perfectly true with 
properly fitted piston therefore insuring great economy in fuel. 


Piston Heads, rods and packing rings made to order. 


Estimates promptly given.

The Theoretical H. P. required to elevate water is found by multiplying: the gallons pumped per minute by the total lift (including friction) in feet, and 
dividing by 4,000 The actual H. P. for 100 feet lift is 1.7 times the Theoretical; for 200 feet lift is 1.45 times, and for 300 feet lift 1.25 times for Triplex Pumps.

Q 



The diameters of suction and discharge flanges given above are for short lengths of pipe only and low lifts. If the 
suction and discharge mains are long, or the suction lift high, the diameter of pipes must be increased. A suction air or vacuum 
chamber materially assists in the smooth operation of the pump.

THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO., 


AUTOMATIC RECEIVER AND FEED PUMP. 


The combined Automatic Receiver and Feed Pump is designed primarily to 
drain heating systems and automatically deliver to the boilers the water of con¬ 
densation in its hottest condition. It is, therefore, a necessary and economical ap¬ 
paratus for office buildings, hotels, apartment houses, factories, etc. It is also a 
valuable auxiliary in connection with oil refineries, brick yards, chemical labora¬ 
tories, etc. 

Its operation is entirely automatic, being placed in a position to receive by 
gravity the condensed water from the entire system for which it is operating, and as 
the returns accumulate in the receiver the float located therein gradually raises and 
opens a special valve, admitting live steam to the steam chest of pump. As soon 
as the receiver is relieved of its condensed water the pump gradually ceases to 
operate, and does not resume until water again accumulates. 

Both receiver and pump are mounted on a cast-iron base, the height of re¬ 
ceiver being restricted so that it affords a drain for the lowest pipe or radiator. 

Should the pump be desired as the sole means of feeding the boilers a suffi¬ 
cient quantity of cold water may be introduced directly into the receiver to supply 
the deficiency occasioned by leakage, etc. 

It will be observed, therefore, that this apparatus is desirable and economical 
in the highest degree, not only on account of the direct saving effected, but it re¬ 
lieves the system of ever accumulating condensation, returning it directly to the 
boilers at a temperature closely approximating the boiling point, and also relieves 
the radiators, coils, etc., of that objectionable hammer due to the presence of 
entrained water.

THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO., 


DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING 


AND OPERATING 


PUMPS. 


It should be the first care in installing the pump, to provide for full and con¬ 
stant supply of liquid to be pumped; in order to accomplish this observe the 
following points: 

The suction pipe should under no circumstances be of smaller size than given in 
the tables. Where necessary to employ long lines, larger sizes must be used, as the 
frictional resistance due to the unusual length will partly counterbalance the head 
due to vacuum, and prevent an adequate supply to the pump. 

Use as few T’s and L’s as possible. 

All valves employed should be of the gate pattern, so that the free way for the 
passage water may equal that of the pipe. 

In laying your suction line, a uniform grade should be maintained, in order 
to avoid air pockets. The suction line should have a drop not less than six inches 
in each one hundred feet towards the supply. Extreme care should be exercised, 
in order to make the suction line and connections absolutely tight. It should be 
remembered that a very small leak will supply the pump with quantity of air that 
little or no water could be obtained. It is desirable, therefore, that the suction 
line be tested under water pressure of from 25 to 50 pounds per square inch, in 
order that any leaks may be detected. 

A large vacuum or suction chamber on the suction pipe, placed on the opposite 
side of the pump from where the suction enters, or on the line near the pump will 
be found of great advantage, and in case of long pipe and high lift, it is a 
necessity. 

A foot valve can be employed to advantage, if its location is such as to enable 
it to be drained in cold weather, so that no danger will result from freezing. The 
valve will insure quick starting of the pump by maintaining the suction line free 
from air and full of water. 

A strainer is desirable, and is absolutely essential if the supply is taken from 
a point that may permit the entrance of foreign matter that will have a tendency 
to clog the water passages and valves of the pump. The area of the openings 
of the strainer should be four times the area of the suction pipe; and they should 
be frequently inspected, and all extraneous matter removed. 

Priming pipes are desirable, connected to the discharge above the pump, so that 
the water boxes can be filled with water and started quickly. This is especially 
desirable, and a necessity for a fire pump. 

When hot water is to be pumped, the difficulty of lifting by suction increases 
with the temperature. It should therefore be arranged to flow into the pump, if so 
hot as to vaporize when the pressure of the atmosphere is removed. Thick liquids 
should also flow to the pump by gravitation. 




CHARLOTTE, N. C. 


75 


The steam and exhaust pipes should be as direct and as free from L’s as 
possible. Both pipes should be thoroughly cleaned before starting the pump, so 
that metal chips from cutting pipe may not be carried into the steam chest and 
score the valves and seats. Proper allowance should be made for the expansion 
of the steam pipes in connecting same up. 

A drain pipe or bleeder should be provided for live steam pipe; connection be¬ 
ing made directly above throttle valve and with the drain, so that the water of 
condensation may not have to pass through the pump. 

All cocks and drains provided for both steam and water ends should be 
opened after the pump ceases operation, so that the water may be thoroughly 
drained, thereby avoiding any possibility of freezing. 

If it is desirable to connect the steam and water cylinder drips in the same 
pipe, a check valve must be placed, closing toward the water cylinder, to keep it 
free from steam. 

All pipes leading to and from the pump should be properly supported, to avoid 
undue strain on flanges of pump. 

In starting a pump under heavy pressure it may fail to perform, because of 
full pressure resting on discharge valves. You will discover that the air in pump 
cylinder is compressed, and prevents water from entering; it is therefore advisable 
to start the pump without any pressure and run until all the air is expelled. This 
can be accomplished by suitable connection in pipe and waste pipe. 

In starting a new pump, if it does not operate with uniform and smooth motion, 
usually the first impression is that the steam valves are not properly set. These 
valves should be the last thing to be disturbed; make sure that the suction and dis¬ 
charge connections, water valves, and everything connected with the water end is 
all right before investigating steam end. There is only one proper position for 
the steam valves on Duplex Pump, and this position is given them in testing 
room, and any changes made by the operator will be wrong. 

If on starting a pump it is found that one or perhaps both the pistons do not 
make full stroke, the cause can usually be located at the stuffing boxes. They are 
probably packed too tight. In properly packed stuffing boxes it is only necessary to 
draw lightly on the glands to prevent leakage, thereby not only saving friction, but 
having a much smoother working pump. 

When the water plungers are packed with fibrous packing, the trouble some¬ 
times arises from the swelling of the packing, causing the pump to operate stiffly, 
and make uneven strokes, etc. This is especially so when pumping hot liquids, 
and sometimes it is necessary to take out the packing and thin it down. This is 
done by stripping a layer from one side of the strand or ring, as the swelling 
is usually lateral. In providing a piston with new packing, it is well to soak the 
packing in warm water over night before fitting it in. New packing should not 
be crowded into the piston, but should fit the packing space loosely, and when it 
becomes wet the swelling will cause it to fit in the space. > 

In feeding a boiler or battery of boilers the discharge pipe should be provided 
with a relief valve, so that if the pipe is throttled in any way the pump may be 
relieved; otherwise excessive pressure will quickly accumulate. Such relief is a - 
solutely necessary for power pumps. The excess of water may be by passe 
suction, or delivered to waste pipe.

HEATING. 


We are fully equipped and prepared to take contracts for heating factories, 
public buildings and private residences. 


FACTORY HEATING. 

We heat factories by either live steam or exhaust steam. 

For factories excellent results may be obtained by live steam in pipes. We will 
guarantee to utilize exhaust steam for heating and to make it circulate freely 
through the pipes without putting any back pressure on the engine. 

PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND DWELLINGS. 

For private houses, we think that a hot water system or a low pressure steam 
system is best,—the preference being usually for hot water in private houses. 

For public buildings we think that low pressure steam or hot water should 
be used,—the preference being for low pressure steam and especially so in large 
buildings.

The wise regulation of temperature in Winter means Home Comfort. 


It makes no difference whether you have furnace, steam or hot water apparatus, 
or whether it is new or old. All you need for securing UNIFORM TEMPERATURE 
is the 

ELECTRIC HP:AT REGULATOR. 

It automatically controls the drafts. A change of one degree at the thermostat 
is sufficient to operate the dampers. 

This device is as simple and no more expensive than a good clock. It embodies 
economy, comfort and health. Has proven its merit for 22 years. 

If not satisfactory in every way return at our expense. Write today.

The plug is of specially prepared composition which extends into the coil but 
is protected from the steam by a metal casing. As the heat is imparted through the 
casing to the composition, steam cannot injure the expanding composition.

FACTORY FIRE PROTECTION. 


Insurance Equipments for Manufacturing Establishments consist of the follow¬ 
ing items, which are all governed by certain rules laid down by the Insurance 
Companies, and are usually subject to special survey and estimate for cost of 
construction. 

First. Automatic Sprinklers and Piping inside all buildings. 

Second. Special Fire Pumps, either Duplex Steam, or Rotary, Iron Geared 
attached to water wheel. 

Third. Outside Fire Hydrants and piping, the number governed by size of 
risk to be protected. 

Fourth. A Standard Watchman’s time detector. 

Heretofore the best protection against fire has been put in Textile factories. 
Lately, however, we have made several important installations in large saw 
mills, wood-working establishments, cotton seed oil mills and cotton ginneries. 
It is amazing that insurance rates on standard cotton factories should be 1-5 of one 
per cent, while cotton ginneries are insured at 6 to 10 per cent. We can construct 
and equip a cotton ginnery to be as safe as a cotton mill. We especially invite cor¬ 
respondence on the subject of protection against fire. 


SPRINKLERS.

No. Heads Allowed. 1 2 4 8 16 28 48 78 110 150 200 

Automatic Sprinklers should be placed not exceeding five feet from sides of 
building or partitions, and not exceeding ten feet from centre to centre. When 
building is of mill or bay construction the sprinkler lines must run in each bay. 
When the ceilings are of a joisted construction, owing to the inability of any 
sprinkler to properly wet the same, the sprinklers should be brought nearer to¬ 
gether. 

Piping. —There should be a riser in each building, and in each section of the 
building divided by fire walls, of sufficient size to supply all the sprinkler heads 
on any floor in each section under standard regulations as to size of piping.

CHARLOTTE, N. C. 


95 


An adequate equipment, consisting of Fire Pump, Water Mains, Hydrants, etc., 
for an ordinary mill, represents a large outlay of money, all of which may be ren¬ 
dered useless if the hose and implements (which form but a small portion of the 
whole cost) are kept in towers or buildings where they are liable to be made in¬ 
accessible by fire or smoke. 

We submit on following pages full illustration and description of Standard 
Hose House, which provides an accessible place where all such implements may 
be assembled and kept ready for instant use. 

This method avoids delay by having everything at hand, in addition to which 
the life of the only perishable part of the equipment, viz.:—the fire hose—is pro¬ 
longed by keeping it as shown, on slatted shelves in well ventilated houses. 


EQUIPMENT. 

ioo feet of hose attached to hydrant and coiled on lower shelf as shown, with 
standard play pipe attached. 

Three lengths (or 150 feet) of extra hose arranged on upper shelf, divided 
by partitions as shown. 

Two axes, two bars, four spanners, two extra pipes, one lantern, all arranged 
as shown. 

Ladder straps and coils of one-half inch hemp rope to suit height of buildings 
should be hung in each house. 

Wrench always on hydrant. 

A liberal supply of rubber hose-washers to be provided and hung in a con¬ 
spicuous place. 

Hose to be attached and coiled as shown in Fig. 83. Any other way of coiling 
will cause last loop or coil to twist short at coupling. If coiled as shown, it will 
come off the shelf perfectly straight. 

Extra hose to be coiled on upper shelf as shown in Fig. 83, with male end 
of coupling to the front, each length separated from the others by partitions six 
inches high, so that pulling out of one length will not foul and tangle with others. 

For equipment and arranging of same in four-way hydrant house, see Fig. 84. 

Note. —The National Standard for hydrants now requires that gate valves 
must be attached to each hydrant outlet as shown in the cut in order to control 
each hose stream independently.

Fig. 85 represents a rack for drying hose after it has been wet either at 
a fire or at a test. This rack should be 50 feet long, one foot high at the 
lower end, 5 feet high at the upper end, and we have shown it 3 to 4 feet wide 
with a slatted top so that a half dozen lines of hose may be dried at one time. 

This is a simple and effective arrangement, and does away with the necessity 
of hoisting the hose on the outside of the tower as is sometimes done. We 
consider this one of the essentials in the equipment of a fire protection system, as it 
will allow the hose to be properly cared for, which will tend to prolong its life 
^nd thus reduce the cost of the one perishable part of an equipment.

There are 7*4 gallons in one cubic foot. Therefore to find capacity of 
square tanks, multiply the length, breadth and depth in feet, inside measurement, 
and multiply this product by 734, which will give the number of gallons. One gal¬ 
lon of water weighs 834 lbs. 

We call your attention to Tupelo wood which is very similar to Cypress. It is 
very close grained, almost impossible to split and will last a lifetime. 

The Tupelo Tank for storage of Crude Oil is far superior to any other wood 
known and cheaper than iron tanks. It is tasteless for water storage,

THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO., 


IMPROVED COLLINS COMPRESSION 
COUPLINGS 

WITH INTERLOCKING KEYS AND INCLINED KEY-SEATS IN 
COUPLING AND SHAFTS. 

The sleeve, which is in halves, is bored somewhat smaller than the diameter of 
the shaft. When the cone rings are driven well home by a copper or babbitt metal 
hammer or block of hard wood, and locked by the ring nuts on either end, the sleeve 
is so compressed upon the shaft as to prevent the slightest movement in the connec¬ 
tion. As the shafts are not turned down at the ends, the necessity for centering or 
putting them in a lathe is obviated and the entire strength is preserved.

BEARING 

FOR HEAD SHAFT OF LINES OF SHAFTING 



BEARINGS WITH ENDS CLOSED 


FOR COUNTER SHAFTS 



Figure 112. 


In cotton and other mills where cleanliness is indispensable, collars or shafts 
outside of the bearings are objectionable because of their liability to throw oil. The 
system illustrated above avoids this. In every case where this system has been used 
it has given entire satisfaction. 

Price of concealed collar, or for closing the ends of a pair of bearings, same as 
the price of a pair of collars given in list on opposite page. 

No XE —W ith these ring-oiling bearings no outside collars should be used.

RING-OILING BEARING. 


DIRECTIONS FOR USING RING-OIL BEARINGS. 

FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, AND NOT ONLY WILL 
YOU HAVE SATISFACTORY LUBRICATION, BUT YOU WILL 
SAVE MUCH OIL. 


On all hangers 2" and larger, the brass springs should be so adjusted that when 
the shaft is placed in position it will depress the scrapers about Y\". This will allow 
them to wear that amount before it is necessary to readjust them. A greater de¬ 
pression would cause increased friction and consequent wear. On sizes less than 2", 
]/%" to 3-16" is about right. 

The oiling rings should be put in carefully and the two ends brought nicely to¬ 
gether, so that they will not catch in turning on the shaft. 


We recommend, as 

the proper amount 

of oil for the 

various sizes, as 

follows: 

1)4 inch Hanger, 

14 pint oil. 

3)4 

inch 

Hanger,

After starting the shafting, the bearings should be carefully watched for a few 
days, and if any of them become warm the upper half of the bearing should be re¬ 
moved to ascertain the cause of the heat. Being properly started, they should run 
without trouble for at least a year.

Will cut 30" diameter by 6^" face, to 6 diametral pitch. 
GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 

This machine is simple, strong and compact, and is designed for use in 
general machine and repair shops. It is especially adapted to the requirements 
of repair shops connected with textile factories. It is very conveniently ad¬ 
justed and operated upon all classes of gear cutting within its capacity. 

It will cut spur, bevel and worm wheels to 30 inches diameter by o-incn 
face, of 6 diametrical pitch and finer, in steel, iron, brass or wood. It is especially 

effective on all sizes under 15 inches. 

It will cut every number to 100, every even number to 180, and has a 

wide range of higher numbers. , „ , 

It may be accurately set at any desired angle for bevel gears by a proper¬ 
ly graduated arc, and has a graduated adjustment either side of the vertical, 
so that it may be conveniently set for cutting wheels to be operated by worms; 
also for trimming the sides of bevel gear teeth when set over at any angle. 
The cutter may be adjusted to the centre or inch either side, if desired. 
The cutter is fed through the blank by hand, as shown. 

The machine occupies a floor space of 24x48 inches, and weighs, when 
ready for shipment, 1,000 pounds. It is furnished with all necessary change 
wheels, tables of division, wrenches, etc., and an adjustable rim rest, for use 
when cutting gears of large diameter. . . . 

The countershaft has tight and loose pulleys, 7 inches in diameter, 2%- 
inch face, and should make 275 revolutions. Price on application.

PATENT CUTTERS. 

FOR THE TEETH OF GEAR WHEELS, WHICH CAN BE SHARP¬ 
ENED BY GRINDING WITHOUT CHANGING THEIR FORM. 

The patent cutters for the teeth of 
gear wheels, from their peculiar con¬ 
struction, can be sharpened when dull 
by grinding the faces of the teeth. This 
operation can be repeated without alter¬ 
ing the form of the tooth which the cut¬ 
ter makes, thereby rendering them many 
times more valuable than cutters of or¬ 
dinary form. 

The larger sizes and cutters for worm 
wheels can be made to order at short 
notice. Orders should be given by an¬ 
nexed tables, stating the number of cut¬ 
ter and the diametral pitch required. By 
diametral pitch is meant the number of 
teeth to the inch in diameter on pitch 
circle of any wheel. In ordering cutters 
for worm wheels, give the number of 
teeth in wheel, the diameter of worm 
and number of threads to the inch. 

Directions for Using the Cutters.— 
The cutters should be kept perfectly sharp by grinding the face of the teeth on 
the side of a solid emery or vulcanite wheel, which has its edge 
beveled on one side so as to reach to the bottom of the teeth. This wheel 
should be put on an arbor with a shoulder and nut, so that the flat side will 
run true, and at a velocity of from 2,000 to 3,000 revolutions per minute. If 
used in a common hand lathe the top of the rest should be made square or 
vertical to the face of the wheel, or what is better, use a small platform in 
the place of the rest. Then by laying the cutter on the rest or platform, the 
face of the teeth can be ground square, which is very important. The cutters 
should not be crowded too hard, especially when cutting through at the end 
of the tooth. The depth of the space made by these cutters affords ample 
clearance, as it exceeds the working depth of the tooth by an amount equal 
to one-tenth of the thickness of the tooth on the pitch line. 



Figure l42. 


PATENT INVOLUTE CUTTERS.—FOR TEETH OF GEAR WHEELS. 


Eight cutters are made for each pitch, as follows : 


No. 1 will cut wheels from 135 teeth to a rack. 

No. 2 will cut wheels from 55 teeth to 134 teeth. 

No. 3 will cut wheels from 35 teeth to 54 teeth. 

No. 4 will cut wheels fr° m 26 to 34 teeth. 

In ordering give the number of cutter 


No. 5 will cut wheels from 21 teeth to 25 teeth. 

No. 6 will cut wheels from 17 teeth to 20 teeth. 

No. 7 will cut wheels from 14 teeth to 16 teeth. 

No. 8 will cut wheels from 12 teeth to 13 teeth, 

and diametral pitch required.

Above table designates number of revolutions per minute for specified 
diameters of wheels, to cause them to run at the respective periphery rates 
of 4 , 000 , 5,000 and 6,000 feet per minute. 

The medium of 5,000 feet is usually employed in ordinary work, but in 
special cases it is sometimes desirable to run them at a lower or higher rate 
according to requirements. 

The stress on the wheel at 4,000 feet periphery speed per minute is 4 b 
pounds per square inch. At 5,000 feet, 75 pounds. At 6,000 feet, 108 pounds. 

Wheels are tested immediately before shipment at not less than g,ooo feet 
per minute, giving them a stress of 250 pounds or more per square inch thus 
proving beyond any question that each and every wheel is entirely free from 
defects or weakness before it is sent out; nevertheless it is recommended that 
they be run in actual use as moderately as practicable, so that an ample 
margin of safety may be allowed.

JENKINS BROS.’ IRON BODY VALVES 


Have a wide and favorable reputation 
among engineers and steam users. They 
are extra heavy, contain the Jenkins Disc, 
and are easily repaired. All parts are inter¬ 
changeable. They are fitted with brass 
hubs when specified, but unless otherwise 
ordered are fitted with yokes, as per cut. 
They are easy to repack, the yokes being 
large and with plenty of room. The flanged 
valves have the Master Steam Fitters’ Stan¬ 
dard, but can be fitted with other flanges if 
ordered.

tigure 277. i’igure 278. 

Stationary Spindle Rising Spindle. 

The gates or plugs of these Valves are constructed of one piece, guided 
in the body by ribs or splines, which take the strain, thus preventing contact 
till seated. These gates can easily be renewed should it become necessary, at 
a slight expense, all parts being interchangeable. Either end can be used for 
inlet or outlet. 

Every Valve is thoroughly tested and inspected before leaving works.

PIPE CUTTING AND THREADING MACHINES. 

THE FORBES PATENT 
DIE STOCKS. 


Figure 308. Figure 309. 

No. 56 Hand Machine. No. 76 Hand and Power Machine. 

In presenting these machines we would ask your attention to the following 
points: 

The Forbes Patent Die Stocks is a machine with which one man can cut 
off and thread large pipe up to 10 inches diameter without assistance, while 
with the smaller size of machines a boy will thread 2 and 3 -inch pipe with only 
one hand on the crank. 

This die stock is a complete tool, being all that is required to thread or cut 
off pipe. 

It is much lighter than the old style of stock and the vise which must ac¬ 
company it, and is less expensive than the above combination. 

It can be used in confined places, and it is especially adapted to trench 
work. 

Its dies can be sharpened by grinding without drawing temper, and when 
one of a set is lost or broken, a new one can be supplied without replacing the 
set. They draw back out of the way when the thread is cut, yet always cut 
standard sizes, and are adjustable to any variation of the fittings. 

The shells are adjustable for wear, which greatly prolongs the life of the 
machine. 

Its parts can be duplicated, when worn out, at a small cost.

It will be seen by referring to the above cut of this Vise that the Beam 
which holds the upper Jaw is hinged. By this improvement the pipe can be 
placed in the Vise at any point. The side opening has other advantages, that 
the Vise may be used for holding pipes while fittings are screwed on one or 
both ends, or for taking apart old pipe work.

“IDEAL” AUTOMATIC GREASE CUP. 

FOR ENGINE CRANK PINS, JOURNALS, ETC. 



Figure 351. 

The “Ideal” is a first-class cast brass highly finished automatic compres¬ 
sion cup, suitable for engine bearings, journals, etc. It is provided with a 
leather packed plunger (insuring a tight joint and smooth working), which is 
so constructed that it is easily raised when cup requires recharging with grease. 
The spring and plunger are conveniently controlled by thumb-nut, which is 
provided with an automatic lotk arrangement to prevent its jarring from posi¬ 
tion on stem. The hole through the shank can be regulated to suit the grease 
used, by means of regulating screw. As a high grade cup of superior design 
and perfect regulation of feed, the “Ideal” has no equal.

“PIONEER” SLIDE TOP GLASS OIL CUP. 



Figure 352. 


The “Pioneer” Oil Cups have become an “acknowledged standard,” being 
by far the best designed and constructed, and consequently the most perfect 
oilers of their class and are adapted for all Engine and Machinery Bearings 
where it is desirable to use a first-class cup. They are made of cast brass 
(not spun brass), are highly finished, compact and very ornamental. These, 
and the other styles of glass oil cups,. manufactured by us, are the only ones 
on the market which will not come apart when placed on jarring machinery, 
neither will the feed unset nor slide loosen thereby spilling the o,il. These 
excellent features being exclusive with our cups and covered by patents gives 
them a very considerable prestige over all other makes. They are easily filled 
and regulated and are satisfactory to users in every respect. They are espe¬ 
cially adapted for Traction Engines, Steam Rollers and other machinery of like 
character where it is necessary to use a durable and substantial oiler.

“ ROYAL ” SIGHT-FEED GLASS OIL CUP. 



Figure 353. 


The “Royal” Sight-Feed Glass Oil Cup will be found an excellent cup for 
engine and dynamo use. It is simple and practical, and so constructed, that 
when the desired feed is once set it can be stopped and started at will without 
resetting, the spring acting as a lock and indicator when engaging the flattened 
side of the thumb-nut. 

Directions to set Feed.—Regulate the feed by turning the milled cover, so 
that when the flattened side of thumb-nut engages the spring the desired feed 
is obtained. When the feed is once established, it can instantly be shut of! or 
put on by turning the milled thumb-nut, i. e., to the right, feed off; to the left, 
feed on.

GLASS BODY OIL PUMP. 


PATENTED. 



Figure 354. 


The Lunkenheimer Glass Body Oil Pump is easily filled and operated and 
is intended to be used in connection with Sight-Feed Lubricators on Sta¬ 
tionary or Marine Engines. No large engine should be without a cup of this 
kind as an auxiliary to the Sight-Feed Lubricator. 

They have recently changed these pumps from two or four sizes, ranging 
in capacity from % pint to one quart, also made changes in the design, making 
them much more compact and consequently neater in appearance. 

Great care is exercised in the manufacture of these Pumps and they are 
tested thoroughly before being sent out from factory, and we guarantee 
them to be perfect working cups and first-class in every way.

UNIVERSAL DOUBLE TUBE INJECTOR. 



Figure 3G1. 


DESCRIPTION. 

The action of this Injector is positive; it works to the same advantage and 
fulfills the same duty under all circumstances; with high or low-pressure 
steam, hot or cold water; under pressure or suction. The instrument is a 
combination of two Steam Jet Apparatus, the first one proportioned for lifting 
and delivering the water, under some pressure, into the second one, where its 
velocity is sufficiently augmented to overcome the counter-pressure in the 
boiler. 

The explanation of the proper working of the Injector, at the lowest as 
well as the highest steam-pressure, without adjustments of parts, is found in 
the fact, that the quantity of water taken in by the first apparatus, and deliv¬ 
ered to the second one, is in proportion to the pressure of the steam, so that 
the first one acts as a governor for the second one. 

The explanation of the feeding of hot as well as cold water is found in 
the construction and proportion of the first apparatus, which has a propor¬ 
tionately small steam nozzle, to insure high suction; and as the water is de¬ 
livered to the second one under pressure, its temperature can be corresponding 
to this pressure, and may be delivered into the boiler ABOVE THE BOILING 
POINT. 

At the same time the combined area of the two steam nozzles is smaller 
than that of other Injectors of the same capacity, so that its duty must, neces¬ 
sarily, be higher. 

This combination of the two apparatus, and the self-governing qualities 
without moving parts, make the apparatus the least sensitive and most reliable 
for any service.

HIGH PRESSURE REGULATING VALVE. 

For reducing Steam or Air Pressure from the initial or high pressure car¬ 
ried, which may be as high as 125 pounds per square inch, down to any pres¬ 
sure on the reduced size above 15 pounds, that may be desired. 



Figure 365. 

From this sectional illustration it will be clearly seen that a highly desir¬ 
able feature of this valve is that the actuating pressure is obtained from the 
reduced side. By this construction, wide variations of pressure may take place 
on the boiler or high pressure side, and yet at the same time we are enabled 
to positively guarantee to maintain an absolutely fixed pressure at any point 
lower than the initial, that may be desired on the low pressure side. 

This valve is employed on steam heating installations where the pressure 
to be carried on the system exceeds 15 pounds. Also for reducing and main¬ 
taining an absolutely uniform pressure on electric light or other high speed 
engines and machinery demanding unvarying steam pressure. Also on Corliss 
and other slow speed engines, elevator engines, steam pumps or other steam 
appliances where a lower pressure than the highest carried will answer equally 
as well, if not much better, thus economizing in fuel, wear of and repairs to 
machinery and obtaining all-around beneficial results. 

A very perfect valve for these services and guaranteed to maintain a uni¬ 
form pressure within a range of 2 pounds.

THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO., 


“ Special ’98 ” Vacuum-Pressure Regulating Valve. 


In modern Atmospheric, Vacuum or very low pressure Systems of Steam 
Heating are demanded, to insure satisfactory results, pressure regulating valves 
constructed especially to meet their most exacting requirements as to sensi¬ 
tiveness in promptly responding to the slightest fluctuation in pressure and 
prove capable of preserving the steam economies which are the predominant 
features of these systems. 

That the above valve meets these conditions successfully is evidenced by 
their presence on nearly all installations of above systems coming under the 
supervision of heating engineers. 

For reducing steam pressures for heating purposes only, from that car¬ 
ried on Boilers or Steam Heating Mains down to a point of Atmospheric Pres¬ 
sure or below if desirable. 

Endorsed and approved by all patentees of Vacuum Systems of Steam 
Heating. A five-year record of service on above systems accompanied by 
perfect results and the best of satisfaction in every instance. 

This valve is constructed with an independent diaphragm and to which is 
connected the actuating pressure. The pressure to govern the operation of 
valve is taken from the Low Pressure Heating Main, some distance from the 
valve itself. The exact point from which to take this connection is usually 
designated by the company whose system is being installed. From this point, 
a connection is run with valve to and connected with diaphragm of Regulator 
as shown in illustration. 

The independent diaphragm feature of these regulating valves makes them 
very desirable for service where radiation is located any considerable distance 
from Boilers or Heating Mains, on any system of heating, as movement of 
valve is controlled by the pressure existing on heating apparatus.

SEMI-BALANCED BACK PRESSURE VALVE. 

DOUBLE SEATED. 

Experience has taught us that our single seated type of Back Pressure 
Valve is preferable and generally the best adapted to conditions as usually 
found in modern steam heating practice; still, for very large sizes of valves, 
for special purposes or to meet peculiar conditions, it is sometimes found very 



Figure 368. 

Horizontal Pattern. 


advisable to divide the area of valve seats up into two sections, to obviate the 
use of extreme large regulating weights, and to obtain greater sensitiveness and 
consequent closer regulation. By employing double seats and also double lever 
where necessary, friction is reduced to the finest point, making them very 
desirable for service in large modern equipped power plants. 


We do not advocate the use of these valves in sizes smaller than 12 inches.

The Composite Semi-Balanced Back Pressure Valve. 



Figure 369. 


The above Back Pressure Valve is the result of combining the good points 
of a number of valves, leaving out all the recognized bad points, thus com¬ 
bining more good qualities than have ever been combined in one valve here¬ 
tofore. 

The operation of this valve is exceedingly sensitive, and at the same time 
entirely noiseless. It is adapted to work on any pressure from atmosphere 
to 30 pounds. 

This valve is intended and especially made to hold a Back Pressure, where, 
for instance, the exhaust steam is used for heating purposes, and must there¬ 
fore not be confounded with our Horizontal or vertical Atmospheric Relief 
Valves. 

Prices same as on pages 251 and 252.

NO. 2 PRESSURE REGULATOR. 



Figure 371. 


FOR LARGE POWER PLANTS, ELECTRIC LIGHT STATIONS, ETC. 

This style regulator is the same as No. i with the addition of oil-cylinder 
(dashpot) which will prevent jumping or chattering under all conditions and 
is to be used where there is a pulsation or vibration of pressure, such as would 
be found in the steam pipe of a pump or engine, caused by the opening and 
closing of the valves; in steam heating system, caused by exhaust from En¬ 
gines, Pumps, Steam Elevators, etc. 

On Steam Pumps it will maintain a uniform pressure of delivery, re¬ 
gardless of speed or volume, by being placed in the steam pipe. 

And is the only Regulator in the market that will regulate successfully 
where a high delivery pressure is required. Note what engine builders and 
some of the largest power users in the country have to say of this valve. 

In ordering please state purpose for which each valve is to be used.

For perfectly controlling movements of Dampers in connection with 
Boilers according to the rise and fall of steam pressures. 

Will control one or more Dampers, either singly or in battery formation,

making it possible to effect a very large saving in fuel consumption, repairs

Multi-Tubular Oil and Grease Extractor. 



Figure 373. 


For service where Exhaust Steam is used for heating or other purposes. 
As is well known, the exhaust steam from engines, pumps, etc., carries with 
it a large amount of the oil used in lubricating, together with other impurities, 
and it is highly necessary that this oil, grease, dirt and other foreign matter 
be effectually removed before this Exhaust Steam can be safely used for 
heating or other purposes, tp avoid the risk of having radiators and all con¬ 
nections coated with a heavy deposit of grease, oil or dirt, causing a loss of 
efficiency in heating surfaces and also the positive danger of this matter com¬ 
ing back into Boilers and resulting in burnt sheets and attending costly repairs. 
The Muiti-Tubular Separator contains more effective baffling surface than any 
other separator on the market and a strong feature of them is that there is an 
absolute minimum of back pressure caused as each separator of a given size is 
sufficiently large to permit of a free and unobstructed flow of steam, free from 
all impurities.

The importance of furnishing dry steam to engines, pumps, etc., cannot 
be over estimated. 

The above Separators are very compactly built, giving economy of space 
with minimum weight and at the same time are so scientifically constructed 
and proportioned as to secure the highest attainable efficiency in separating 
and removing all the water which is found entrained with steam, intercepting 
same into a chamber which does not present an excessive amount of con¬ 
densation surface. This together with the fact, that while the baffling surface 
is amply sufficient, it is so arranged as to preserve the velocity of steam passing 
through Separator without reduction of pressure. 

A Steam Trap is absolutely necessary in connection with all Steam 
Separators to obtain best service.

OIL FILTERS. 



Figure 377. 


Every user of lubricating oil appreciates the fact that the larger portion 
of all the oil he buys is not consumed by the machinery on which it is used, 
but passes through, and, but for the fact that it becomes filled with dirt and 
grit, could be used again. This waste frequently amounts to from 50 to 75 
per cent of the oil used. The lubricating properties are not affected in the 
least, and if the impurities can be eliminated, the oil can be used over and over 
again with perfect safety. With an Oil Filter at hand, oil may be used over and 
over again. There is no waste, and every dollar’s worth of oil is used up. 
When it is remembered that this means a saving of from 50 to 75 per cent, and 
often more, in the expenditure for lubricating oil, it is obvious that a Filter is 
an investment which pays large dividends. It is, in fact, a necessity to every 
user of oil who has an eye to economy and cannot feel justified in throwing 
money away.

The Single Bell Chime Whistles shown above differ essentially from other 
makes, inasmuch as the bells are cast in one piece instead of being made in 
several parts. Owing to this method of construction these whistles (when 
blown) give clear, bell-like, musical sounds, which are much more pleasing to 
the ear than those produced by common whistles. 

The appearance of whistles is unique and handsome, they are well made, 
perfectly tuned, and for durability of construction are unequaled.

Machinists’ Stationary Bottom Vises. Machinists’ Patent Swivel 

Bottom Vises. 

The back jaw of this vise is adjustable, and in use conforms by automatic . 
action to any angle, adjusts itself, and makes firm the object held, whether it 
be straight, beveled or wedge-shaped. By inserting pin A the jaw becomes 
fixed, thus making a parallel solid jaw vise.

JACK SCREWS. 

Both roller bearing-and ordinary style. It roller 



Figure 394 . 


Ball-bearing Jacks are very satisfactory when not heavily loaded, but in order to gain greater 
efficiency, rollers, instead of balls, are now used for bearings as shown in cut. These rollers will stand 
any load that the Jack will carry, and are not liable to get out of order. These Roller Jacks have been 
thoroughly tested with a spring balance and show a saving of 75 per cent of power needed to lift a given 
weight. 

The price is about ten percent, more for Roller Jacks, and the gain is 75 per cent. This ought to 
insure their sale as fast as the facts become known.

TRIPLEX CHAIN BLOCK. 


TRIPLE POWER. 

TRIPLE SPEED. 

TRIPLE DURABILITY. 


This means that only 20 per cent, of the opera¬ 
tor’s labor is wasted in overcoming friction; showing 
that this type of block has twice the efficiency of 
blocks of the screw-gear type and triple the efficiency 
of those of the differential type. This can be seen by 
comparing the chain-pulls as given in the tables. 

Customers are urged to make comparative tests 
to demonstrate these facts, and a triplex block will be 
furnished for such trial, with the privilege of return, 
if desired. 

The triplex block is especially adapted for use 
with overhead cranes or trolleys, being faster and 
easier in operation than any other block operated by 
hand, and often available where otherwise the work 
could only be performed by power. 

DUPLEX.—For portable and more frequent use. 
TRIPLEX.—For constant use and best economy.

DUPLEX BLOCK. 


SCREW-GEARED. (Patented.) 


This latest model of the Screw Block (worm wheel 
action) presents the perfection of this type and offers many 
attractive features. 


Portable: Because light and compact. 

Powerful: One man lifts a heavy load. 

Convertible: To “Safety” or “Dispatch” lowering 
action as desired. 

Its chain guides make it safe and convenient even 
when used at an angle. 

This block is unequalled for portable use, where 
convenience in handling rather than speed of lifting is 
desired.

COTTON SEED OIL MILL MACHINERY. 

We include in the following prices on Oil Mill machinery the services of one 
man to superintend erection in the building. We include also a set of drawings of 
the necessary buildings, which must be built in accordance with the same in order 
that the machinery may be erected as designed. Our quotations are on the machinery 
necessary as per our drawings. 

“Freight to eastern export point” is the additional price for which we will deliver 
machinery to any export city in the United States, east of the Rocky mountains. 

“Freight to San Francisco” is the additional price for which we will deliver 
machinery to San Francisco. 

In case of machinery purchased for foreign shipment we will box it suit¬ 
ably for export in place of furnished time of man to superintend erection. 
We will send a man with machinery to foreign countries if desired—price to be 
agreed upon—but purchaser to pay expenses in all cases. 

We are always willing to furnish the special oil mill machinery which is 
manufactured by The D. A. Tompkins Company, and let purchasers buy the 
remaining machinery in the open market and themselves undertake the con¬ 
struction of the plant in accordance with our drawings or their own. 

We are not willing, however, to furnish an itemized list of all machinery 
required with detailed prices and give an option to purchaser to strike out 
certain machinery, leaving us to furnish the remainder, for the reason that it might 
happen that the machinery stricken off the list and purchased from other sources 
might not work well with that remaining to be furnished by us. 

After taking a contract, however, we will confer with purchasers, and fur¬ 
nish to any extent compatible with our interests such machinery as they prefer. 


ONE PRESS (12 Plates) MILL COMPLETE. 

Capacity io to 15 tons per 24 hours. 

We build a complete Mill on a platform in our shops so constructed that 
we can take it to pieces for shipment. It is so marked that it can be easily 
set up by the marks. 

The mill comprises the same list of machinery as is named for One-Press 
Mill, but the entire list of machinery is set up, shafting being carried on over¬ 
head supports. All the machinery is set up on a platform except the boiler and 
engine, which must be separately set up. 

Price of this mill complete f. o. b. factory.$15,000 00

If it is desired to build a one press mill, so arranged and with sufficient 
power to change it to a 20 to 30-ton mill, it is necessary also to increase the 
separating machinery to the size used for 20 to 30-ton mill, and also to increase 
size and length of shafting, etc. 

For machinery adapted in this way to increase size of mill, add to above 
price the sum of $2,500.00.

HYDRAULIC PACKING FOR OIL PRESS. 


It is necessary to have a special packing to make the joint between the 
ram and the cylinder. Figure 441 shows the cylinder in section. The packing 
is shown at A. It consists of a crimp made of sole leather, formed in a 
mould made for the purpose. Figure 442 shows one kind of crimp mould. 
The leather used should be hard and sound. It is better to have it planed to 
a uniform thickness. It is put into the mould when thoroughly wet, and kept 
until entirely dry and hard. It is then taken out and the center cut out, leaving 
a ring of the shape shown in figure 441. It is carefully trimmed to the correct 
size and wedged into the recess with blocks of hard wood, such as walnut or 
maple. Care must be taken to so mould the leather that the hair or grain side 
of the leather will come next to the ram, where the wear comes. A good 
packing should last several months; but sometimes, on account of unseen de¬ 
fects in the leather, it may fail in a single day. A mill should always keep on 
hand one or more packings, ready for emergencies. 

The blocks for wedging in the packing should be carefully formed to ex¬ 
actly fill the space in the leather cup and hold it firmly in place. A good way 
to make the blocks is to build up a wood cylinder of straight staves, after the 
fashion of a barrel, 12 or 15 inches long. The staves are glued together and 
fastened endwise to the face plate of a lathe and turned inside and outside to 
the proper diameter. The end of cylinder is turned to the proper shape and a 
ring of the blocks cut off. These are then split apart, and are ready for use. 
Several sets may thus be made and cut off and kept for future use.

AUTOMATIC CHANGE VALVE. 


In connection with this system of high and low pressures, with or with¬ 
out the accumulators, there was devised a system of automatic change valves 
to admit to the press the low pressure and automatically change over to the 
high pressure. 

Sometimes the automatic valves were left out, and the changes made with 
the regular press valve, by a man watching the gauge. 

Fig. 446 shows an automatic change valve in section, connected by piping 
to a regular press valve shown above. The connecting pipe is shown broken 
to indicate that the automatic valve may be placed in any desired position with 
reference to the press valve. 

Low pressure pump is connected to the press valve at A. High pressure 
pump is connected to the automatic valve at G. 

To put pressure on press, close K, open J. 

Pressure is admitted from low pressure pump through A and adjacent 
check valve, through B and onward. 

At 300 pounds pressure, plunger D is pressed down strongly enough to 
open E. 

This admits high pressure through E, F, H, and onward. 

High pressure shuts low pressure check valve and holds D down. 

At H is a choke valve to admit the high pressure very gradually. This 
is to save press cloth and give the oil time to flow out of the meats in the 
press. 

Valves similar to this are still in use, but some late valves are very much 
simplified in design.

IMPROVED AUTOMATIC CHANGE VALVE, FIG. 447.—LETTERING. 


Fig. 447 shows a cross section of an improved change valve, having 
fewer parts than any of the old forms. Both high and low pressure pumps 
are connected to this valve. 

A—Pipe from low pressure pump. 

B—Check over same. 

C—Port to press pipe. 

D—Pipe to press. 

E—Pipe from high pressure pump. 

F—Choke valve. 

G—Stop valve, high pressure. 

H—Stop valve, low pressure. 

J—Crimp packing. 

K—-Leather gasket. 

When valve at press is first opened, low pressure flows through pipe A 
and check B, to press. 

At the same time, the high pressure pump forces oil through the slot in 
choke valve F. (This slot is a mere notch filed across face of valve.) 

As oil passes through this choke valve its pressure becomes as low as 
the pressure from low pressure pump. Thus both pumps contribute to hasten 
the ram, and when the slack of the press is taken up, the high pressure 
pump, continuing to put oil through the choke valve F, gradually raises the 
pressure to above that of the low pressure pump. Then the check B closes, 
and the pressure continues to rise by the action of the high pressure pump 
alone. The choke valve makes this rise of pressure very gradual, and it is 
this regulation of the rise which saves the press cloth and makes a greater 
yield of oil from the presses.

Style “D” has no automatic stop or 
friction drive. It is not intended, when 
packing cotton seed hulls, to stop the Packer 
when the sack is filled. Instead the feed is 
shut off and diverted to a re-tail bin. When 
the full sack is taken out and an empty sack 
put in place, the feed is again turned on. 
In some cases two Packers are used, one 
machine packing while the full sack is being 
replaced by an empty one in the other. 
The Packer will not feed from a bin. Ma¬ 
terial must be fed in by a spout. 

In ordering always give the size of the 
sacks laid flat on the floor, stating the 
length and width. Also state whether the 
counter shaft is to extend to right or left

COTTON SEED DELINTING. 


Many types of machines have been built to take the short lint off cotton seed, 
leaving the seed black like the seed of Sea Island cotton or from Egyptian cotton. 
These machines are usually called Delinters or Delinting machines. The class of ma¬ 
chine now on the market are those having corundum blocks held in cylindrical shape 
to make a concave, and a cylinder with other blocks or steel vanes to carry the seed 
around or plow through them. Between the corundum blocks is perforated metal 
through which the lint is drawn by a suction fan. This may be condensed on an 
ordinary gin condenser having fine wire screen to catch it, or it may be collected in 
a cyclone dust collector. 

Debated seed are generally exported. The price of these vary in foreign markets 
and the profit of the delinting business depends on the price of seed in England 
and France. Sometimes there is profit, but generally speaking the business up to 
date has not been continuously prosperous. In making estimates these facts should 
be kept in mind: The American ton is 2,000 pounds; when the lint is taken off there 
is about 1,750 pounds; the English ton is 2,240 pounds. There seems to be very little 
market for the lint. Besides these features the power required is very considerable. 
Except at coast points there would be two freights to pay in the United States—one 
in to the mill and one out to the port—and although the seed are comparatively free 
from heating when delinted they are not wholly immune and claims from this and 
other causes in foreign markets are considerable. 

Delinting machines have been made in which a cone cylinder is lined with emery 
blocks and the seed brushed out against these by strips of sheepskin or other leather, 
and others still having fine cut saws like gin saws plowing through slitted cylinders 
full of packed seed. The action of all the machines warms the seed (sometimes too 
much) and this dries them and makes them more free from spoiling.

Delinting and Grinding Cotton Seed Hulls. 

The object of delinting and grinding cotton seed hulls is to sell them at a 
higher price than they bring as a coarse cattle feed. The machinery to separate the 
lint and hull has been successfully made but the operation has not so far been a 
commercial success. When separated the lint is sold for paper stock but it has not 
competed successfully with wood pulp and other paper stock. The hull, being fine 
ground, is mixed with the meal before it goes in the press and some people claim it 
makes the cake porous and lets out more oil. In the cake it is an adulterant and 
there are many other cheaper adulterants that would do as well. There may be other 
and entirely proper uses for the hull and lint when separated that we are not 
aware of.

CONVEYORS. 


Conveyors run by belts will convey either way by crossing the belt. Changing a 
Conveyor, end for end, does not change from right to left hand. In ordering, be sure 
to give length and diameter of driving ends. 





Figure 459. 


The arrows indicate which way the Conveyor turns and which way the material 
is carried. Conveyors should run 150 revolutions per minute. 

An extra charge is always made for driving ends, including the part going into 
pipe. We carry a large stock of regular sizes and lengths, made up, thereby insuring 
to our customers prompt shipment.

CONVEYORS (Continued). 



The hulls which come from the Separating Screen are carried to the place of 
storage or shipment in a conveyor having a perforated bottom, so that the meats 
yet remaining in the hulls are sifted through and removed by a smaller conveyor 
underneath. This arrangement is shown in Fig. 463, where the hull conveyor is 
shown as right hand, bringing the hulls away from the Screen, and the small con¬ 
veyor left hand, carrying the meats back. It is usual to equip 40 to 60 feet of the 
hull conveyor in this manner. Sometimes this portion of the conveyor is made with 
cut flights, or interrupted spirals, for the purpose of stirring the hulls to perfectly 
shake out the small particles of entangled meats,

Figure 465. 


Perforated Lining. 

The use of Conveyor, either with regular or cut flights, running in a box lined 
with perforated metal, is a most effective and economical method of separating sand, 
dirt, grit and other foreign substances from cotton seed and other material. Where 
so used the lining should be wider than our regular plain lining and the metal should 
be of heavier gauge. 

The prices for perforated lining vary with the size of the perforations the width 
of lining (before rolling) and the gauge of metal used. 

We recommend where perforated lining is used that the metal be wider than is 
employed for making the plain steel lining, and in asking for price it would be well 
to specify the width and gauge of metal as well as the size of perforation. 


STANDARD SIZES OF PERFORATED CONVEYOR LININGS. 

For 9-inch Linings, sheets 15to 18 in. x 30 in. or longer, 1 in. margin on sides, 
rolled to circle of 10 inches. 

For 12-inch Linings, sheets 20 l / 2 to 24 in. x 30 in. or longer, i l / 2 in. margin on 
sides, rolled to circle of 13 inches. 

For 16-inch Linings, sheets 28 to 30 in. x 30 in. or longer, 2 in. margin on sides, 
rolled to circle of 17 inches. 

Nail holes in side margin 54 inch diameter and 4 inches apart.

We furnish this work in iron, steel, copper, brass, zinc or tin. 

It is very difficult to make an intelligent price list on perforated metal, as so 
many things are to be taken into consideration. We will make estimates on any 
class of work wanted, asking our customers to give us the folio-wing information: 

First. Kind of metal and size of sheets each way. 

Second. Size of perforation, round, slot or oval. If slot or oval, which way of 
the sheet the perforations are to run. 

Third. Gauge or thickness of metal. 

Fourth. The width of margins, and if screw holes or nail holes are wanted to 
fasten to frame. Send diagram as shown below. 

Fifth. Flat or rolled.

Customers will readily understand that large numbers of sheets of one-sized 
hole can be perforated cheaper in proportion than small orders. However, we will, 
whenever possible, bunch orders to save our customers expense in this way.

CONVEYOR BOXES. 


It is generally cheaper and preferable for the box to be made on the premises 
and placed in position where wanted, rather than to have us make it. The box is 
not easy to transport and is generally warped and twisted out of shape by shipping 
and handling. 

It is a good plan to make conveyor boxes of seasoned lumber dressed on all 
sides, unless for very rough work. Place box in straight and level as possible and 
fasten well to supports as often as convenient. The more solid the box the better. 
To prevent the box from spreading, put cleats across the top every four feet. Make 
bearing for driving ends independent of box on large or long conveyors. 

Where for special reasons it is desirable to have the box furnished for the con¬ 
veyor, we shall be pleased to quote price on the conveyor complete, fitted in the 
wooden box. 


INFORMATION USEFUL IN MAKING CONVEYOR BOXES. 


Conveyor Boxes should always be made of kiln-dried lumber, as any shrinkage 
causes the Conveyor to run out of true. For 4-inch Conveyor Boxes, we recommend 
i-inch lumber; for 6-inch and 9-inch, i*4 inch; for 12-inch and larger, 2 inches thick. 
The following table will show the proper size to make the boxes for Conveyors:

To get the best service out of Conveyors, they should be run close to the bottom 
of trough—for 4 and 6 inch, say, Vk inch play; for larger sizes, a little more.

SPECIAL CANVAS-STITCHED BELTING. 

FOR ELEVATORS. 

This belt is made of the best grade of duck of a special weave, is stitched, and 
being treated with a special compound, gives long wear, great strength and minimum 
stretch. The compound with which the duck is treated protects the duct from wet or 
dampness, and this belt is not injured by heat, cold or steam, gas or acid fumes. 

We especially recommend this belting for use as elevator belts where the ma¬ 
terial to be handled injuriously affects ordinary belting.

OIL MILL NOTES. 

COTTON SEED (Raw Material). 

--*- 

Linters (marketable product). Hulled Seed. 

Hulls (marketable product). Meats 

Cake or Meal (marketable product). Oil (marketable product). 


THE PROCESS. 

The process as now conducted in first-class mills is about as follows: 

1. The seed are cleaned of sand. 

2. Then the other foreign substances, such as bolls, pieces of wood, etc., are 
removed. 

3. They are then carried to the Linters and reginned for a part of the short lint. 

4. 1 hey are then carried to the Huller, which cuts them to pieces. 

5. Then in a reel the meats are separated from the hulls. 

6. The hulls are then taken out, heretofore to the fire room for fuel, but latterly 
to be sold as cattle feed. 

7. The meats are taken to the Rolls which crushes them, breaking the oil cells. 

8. From the Rolls the meats go to the Heaters in which they are cooked. 

9. From the Heaters meats are taken into the Former where cakes are formed 

and enclosed in cloth. 

10. The cakes are placed in the Press and the oil extracted by pressure. 

11. The cake remaining in the Press is taken out, allowed to cool and it 

may be then cracked and ground into meal. 

In linting seed once the weight cf lint is about 36 pounds per ton of seed, in 
linting two or three times the weight is somewhat increased, but the total value of the 
different grades foots up to the same amount as in one linting. 

One 106-saw Linter will lint from 16 to 24 tons of seed in 24 hours. 

The Linter should not be adjusted to remove every particle of lint as this causes 
a dark sample, neither should there be too much lint left on the seed as it is thus 
partly waste. 

Hulls should not be burned; but mixed with about 20 per cent of meal, packed 
in sacks and sold for cattle food. We have built and furnished to some of the most 
successful mills, a machine that can pack about 200 pounds of this mixture in a sack. 

A 15-plate Press can be charged, by skilled hands, in about two minutes, in a 
six-press mill; the Presses should be run up about every 10 minutes; in a smaller 
mill not so often. 

Dry cotton seed meats require from 12 to 18 minutes to cook in Heaters. Wet 
and frosted seed may take as long as 45 minutes. 

The weight of oil, plus the weight of cake, multiplied by two, equals the weight 
of seed, in other words the hulls and lint weigh the same as the meats. 

A gallon of cotton seed oil weighs 7^2 pounds. 

400 tons on a 16-inch ram is enough pressure to apply to extract the oil from 
the cake.

For shafting, add 20 per cent, to power. 

For conveyors and elevators, add 10 per cent, to power. 

In some cases in the foregoing table, the machines are given two ratings in 
capacity and power. In the case of the Linters and Hullers, the variations may be 
made by varying the amount of material fed; in the case of the other machines, the 
variations are due to using different size machines for different capacities desired. 

The capacities and corresponding power required, may be widely varied accord¬ 
ing to the way in which the machinery is forced, and according to the general skill 
in operating the mill as a whole. 

The usual allowance of power for various size oil mills is 2J/2 horsepower per 
ton (of seed) capacitv per day of 24 hours. 


REFINING OIL. 

The oil from the presses is allowed to settle and the top is drawn off. Settlings 
are called “foots.” 

It is next strained, heated, and either stirred by mechanical paddles, or has air 
blown through it from the bottom of tank by means of a perforated pipe. 

A strong solution of caustic soda is added, the “soap stock” settles to bottom 
of tank, the oil is drawn off and washed with water which floats the oil and absorbs 
the soda. The oil is next filtered and is ready to ship as refined oil. 

Refineries are usually built to refine 75 to 200 barrels per day. There are few 
instances of smaller refineries being successful, mainly because a skilled refiner can¬ 
not usually be employed for less than $1,500 to $2,500 per year, and the capacity of 
the refinery must be sufficient to justify this fixed charge. 

An unskilled man might, by spoiling one or two “batches” of oil, cause more 
loss to a company in a day than could be repaired by profit in a year. 

After knowledge, skill must be acquired by patient practice and close observation

These well-known Wagon Scales are not only made of the sizes and capacities 
shown, but the dimensions may be varied somewhat without adding to the cost of 
the Scale. 

Special Scales can be adapted to special situations, and extension levers can be 
provided to carry the beam farther from the platform of the Scale, placing it in an 
office, if desired. The distance from the platform to the beam may be extended not 
exceeding 2 feet, without extra charge, longer extensions up to 20 feet being fur¬ 
nished at proportionate price. 

All the prices are exclusive of timber and foundation, which are to be furnished 
by the purchaser.

IRON FRAME RAILWAY TRACK SCALES. 



Figure 478. 


These Scales are constructed upon a unique principle, and embody many valuable 
improvements. They are everywhere known as very durable, accurate and well 
adapted for railway use. They are made to suit any gauge of track, but if no other 
is specified the standard gauge of 4 ft. 8^2 in. will be understood to be desired. 
They may be framed entirely of steel instead of timber, making weighing machines 
especially suitable for use in hot climates and other localities. 

The suspension form of Track Scale is especially durable, and for many situa¬ 
tions in low and wet ground it is the most desirable pattern for meeting the require¬ 
ments successfully. The mechanism of the Scale is above and out of the way of all 
moisture and dust, and as the platform is' suspended there is less wear on the bear¬ 
ings under these conditions. The Scale may be protected by a light roof overhead 
or by a more substantial building erected for it. This pattern may also be built en¬ 
tirely of steel instead of timber. 

Track Scales of all patterns are usually fitted with improved beams of the single 
beam pattern, but double, triple, or gridiron beams can be furnished. 

Type Registering Beams can be furnished if desired. Prices upon application.

COTTON GINNING. 


All buildings for ginning plants should be constructed under the Rules of the 
New England Mutual Insurance Companies for cotton factories. Cotton factory 
insurance is reduced to one-half of one per cent. Ginnery insurance has been here¬ 
tofore six to ten per cent. The rate of insurance and fire hazard together makes 
gin property an exceedingly insecure investment, in fact almost the equivalent of an 
expense item. 

We are prepared to furnish complete designs for ginneries or for combined gin¬ 
neries and cotton seed oil mills, on which reasonable rates of insurance can be 
procured, as follows:

The cost of ginning cotton on plantations with slave labor and mule power was 
practically nothing. 

The average cost of ginning cotton by the means commonly employed in the last 
15 years has not averaged less than $2.50 per bale, and the fire risk has been rated at 
6 to 10 per cent on plants. 

The cost of ginning the Southern crop should not exceed 75 cents per bale, and 
the insurance rate on ginning plants should not exceed 1 per cent, and we believe 
it will ultimately not exceed x / 2 of 1 per cent, as has been done in cotton factories.

FANS. 

PATENT STEEL EXHAUST FAN. 

Specially Constructed for Elevating Seed Cotton, Cotton Seed, Hulls, etc. 
SHELLS, WHEELS AND SHAFTS OF STEEL. 

The bearings are both on one side, the object being that the inlet may be en¬ 
tirely unobstructed, so as to allow free ingress for the cotton or other fibrous 
material. The blast wheels in these Exhausters are so constructed that there is no 
opportunity for the catching or lodging of cotton and consequent clogging of the 
machine. 

Parties ordering Exhaust Fans, should state in all cases whether right or left 
hand is wanted. In cases where it makes no difference which hand is sent, it should 
be so stated in the order. By right hand is meant pulley on the right hand side as 
you stand facing the outlet, and by left hand, pulley on left hand side. 

The “Revolutions per Minute” given in the following table are intended as the 
lowest and highest speeds required. 

The speed must be gauged by the length of pipes, number of turns, and strength 
of suction required.

ELECTRIC UNITS. 


Volt. — I lie unit of electric pressure is called the Volt. It is analogous to steam 
pressure, or to head of water. We speak of an electric pressure of so many volts as 
we speak of a steam pressure of so many pounds to the square inch, or to a head of 
water of so many feet. One Daniell's cell gives a pressure of nearly one volt. 

Coulomb. —Is a fixed unit of quantity of electricity, just as a gallon is fixed unit 
of a quantity of water. 

Ampere. —Is rate of flow of electricity. Just as water may be flowing at the rate 
of so many gallons per second, so electricity flows at the rate of so many amperes per 
second. 

One coulomb passing in one second is one ampere. 

Ohm. —Is unit of electrical resistance in conductors, as friction is resistance of 
water in pipes. 

The unit of resistance most generally used is the Paris or legal Ohm, which is 
the resistance of pure mercury of one square millimetre cross section and 106 centi¬ 
metres in length at a temperature o degree, C. 

Joule = Volt X Coulomb. 

Work done in increasing the voltage of a fixed quantity of electricity, as energy 
is required to increase pressure of air. 

Watt — Volt X Ampere. 

One coulomb per second is one ampere. One volt coulomb per second = one 
joule or one volt X ampere per second = one watt which is work or power, just as 
we speak of the horsepower O'f an engine. 

Horsepowers and watts are convertible terms. 

i watt = .0013406 horsepower. 

1 horsepower = 745.941 watts (volt-amperes per second). 

The longest lived lamp is not necessarily the most economical; they may require 
too much coal to incandesce them, and they may blacken and not furnish good light. 

Three things must be considered in the economy of lamps. 1. Length of life; 

2. Power to incandesce; 3. Quality of light. Or in different language, 1. They must 
live 600 to 1,200 hours; 2. One horsepower must incandesce 10 to 12, 16 c. p. lamps; 

3. The lamp must not blacken, but must continue to give 16 c. p. throughout its 
whole life. 

Electric current is now sold for power purposes either by the H. P. or by the 
K. W. hour. The price generally ranges from $15.00 per horsepower per year for 12 
hours per day run, to $25.00 per year where the power is obtained from water and in 
quantities of 100 H. P. and upwards. 

This is approximately 54 cent per K. W. hour to about i (4 cents per K. W. hour 
meter measure. 

Where the power is by steam and the distribution considerable, as is usual in a 
city, prices range from $40.00 to $150.00 per H. P. per year; or from 3 cents per 
K. W. hour to 6 cents per K. W. hour. 

For lighting current is sold at 4 cents to 12 cents per K. W. hour. 

Sometimes, in absence of a meter, flat rates vary from 25 cents to $1.00 per 16 
c. p. lamp per month. 

For practical purposes horsepower and kilowatts may be converted on basis of 
following values: 

1 K. W. = i l A H. P. 

1 H. P. = 746 Watts. 

1 H. P. = 54 K. W. 

1 K. W. = 1,000 Watts. 

1 16-c. p. incandescent lamp at 3X watts per candle power = 56 watts. 

1 500 to 1,000-c. p. arc light, 5 amperes, 125 volts = 625 watts, or at no volts — 
550 watts.

Pole, line and wire extra. 

The above figures are only the roughest approximations and are only put down 
so that one interested may have an approximate idea as to what it would cost to 
develop and transmit the power from a waterfall. Each item may vary greatly in 
any one actual case.

6 miles cross ties. 6,000 00 

6 cars and trucks. 9,000 00 


Total .$ 82,100 00 


This estimate is based entirely on maximum figures. For example, instead of 60 
pounds per yard rail as estimated, it is very common to use 35, 40 and 45 pounds per 
yard rail. Other items of estimate may be reduced proportionately in similar manner. 
Where streets are to be paved cost of paving must be considered.

ELECTRIC POWER TRANSMISSION. 

For short distances and for all ordinary purposes, power may be transmitted 
say % to t/z mile by means of ordinary direct current dynamos, such as are used for 
isolated incandescent lighting. Usually the capacity of the machines are rated as 
being about io lights per horsepower. Therefore, ioo-light dynamos would 
generate, current for or deliver at the belt about io horsepower. These machines 
work well, and are entirely practicable at, say, distances of half a mile or less. 

For greater distances than ^2 mile it is necessary to use a higher voltage or 
pressure. Direct currents could be used at 500 volts as is done in the railway system. 
In all cases within the knowledge of the writer, the successful electrical railways 
have used 500 volts. Many railways have been constructed in which cars have been 
operated about 10 miles away from the generating station. 

The machines now made for railway purposes could as well be used for genera¬ 
tion, transmission and development of power for other purposes than railways. 

The alternating current is, however, for most purposes, the most economical 
method of transmission of power by electricity. One of the principal objections to 
the direct current is that for distances greater than 10 miles the necessary voltage 
for economical work makes the current a dangerous one. With the alternating 
current this is overcome as follows: 

A generator can be used in which the current is generated at, say, 100 volts. 
This current may then be converted to even as much as 10,000 volts, at which great 
pressure it may be conveyed a great distance (say 100 miles), over a very small wire; 
then reconverted to as low a pressure as it is desired to use it. Thus the very great 
pressure necessary to convey a larger power great distances over a small wire is only 
on the transmission wire, and not in the generating nor in the developing machinery, 
and the danger attending very high pressure currents is thereby eliminated at each 
end of the line. 

By alternating current apparatus 100 H. P. was transmitted 100 miles to the 
Frankfort exposition. In many instances in this country power has been success¬ 
fully transmitted 20 to 50 miles and over.

BEARINGS. 



Figure 491. 

Self-Oiling Bearing. 

The bearings used are of the self-aligning, self-oiling type. As will be noticed 
by reference to the illustration, they are provided with revolving rings which carry 
from the reservoir a continual supply of oil, which is swept by the action of the 
revolving shaft toward the center and ends of the bearing. It is there collected and 
returned to the reservoir, where it has time to settle and cool. In this manner a 
continual circulation of oil through the bearings is automatically accomplished, the 
bearings requiring no attention beyond an occasional examination and the necessary 
renewal of oil from time to time.

CEILING FANS. 



t Figure 493. 

The Gyrofan. 

(With Electrolier Attachment.) 

The excellence of this novel fixture, its wide range of usefulness, and its adapt¬ 
ability are very notable. 

1. The two fans can be set to blow horizontally, or at any downward angle, and 
one fan can be set at a different angle from the other. 

2. The base of the fixture revolves while the two fans rotate, and the speed of 
revolution can be varied by a simple adjustment. 

3. The fixture can be set rigid, and the two fans arranged to throw their blast 
in any desired direction; thus a current of air may be blown in both directions in 
an aisle, or the fixture may be set at the intersection of two aisles in a store and the 
blast of one fan be directed down each aisle. 

4. The switch on the base of the fixture controls the fans. 

5. The switch on the base of the Electrolier Attachment is arranged with four 
contacts, so that the fans can be operated alone, the lights alone, or the fans and the 
lights simultaneously. 

6. The Gyrofan, notwithstanding it carries two motors, consumes 25 per cent 
less current than any ceiling fan on the market, and yet, 

7. It disturbs a vastly greater volume of air than any ceiling fan of the old 
types, and in more useful directions.

MERIDIAN LAMP. 



Figure 513. 


The Meridian Lamp. 

Many classes of general illumination demand a unit of light intermediate in size 
between the arc and incandescent lamp. Convenience and durability require the 
intermediate unit to be as simple as the ordinary incandescent lamp, while economy 
and comfort necessitate the concentration of the light on the area beneath the lamp 
and uniform distribution throughout this area. 

These requirements are met by the Meridian Lamp, a new type of incandescent 
lamp which was introduced to cover that field in lighting for which the arc lamp is 
too large and the incandescent lamp too small. As shown in the accompanying illus¬ 
trations, it is a neat and novel combination of a properly designed incandescent lamp 
with a suitable reflector and collar detachable from the lamp. The lamp filament 
is of special design and accurately located in the bulb in reference to the reflector. 
The combination of these features with a sand-blasted globe produces a soft, bril¬ 
liant white light, well diffused and uniformly distributed beneath the lamp. 




CHARLOTTE, N. C.

FITTINGS FOR MERIDIAN LAMP. 

The Socket collar for the Meridian Lamp fits either key or keyless standard 
sockets and is supplied in polished brass or dead black finish. The socket is not a 
part of outfit. 

The reflector is made of aluminum with dead black finish exterior. 

The Meridian Lamp is designed essentially for ceiling suspension and is not 
suitable for attachment to wall brackets or side fixtures. It is evident that the length 
of the rod must be regulated by the height of the ceiling and the character of the 
illumination required. If the lamps are to be used over tables for reading, etc., the 
globes should hang about 4 or 5 feet from the table. If the light is wanted for 
general illuminating purposes, the globes might hang from 8 to 12 feet above the 
floor, according to the character of the surrounding walls and ceiling. 

Meridian lamps must be ordered by voltage and watts and type of fitting. 

The bulbs are supplied tipless and frosted, unless clear bulbs are specified in 
order. 

Prices and additional data on Meridian lamps are given in the following table. 
The price of additional tubing and pipe is 25 cents per foot.

Hylo for Edison Sockets. Hylo for T-H Sockets. 

Ever since Edison “subdivided the electric light” 20 years ago, people have 
wanted some way to make the incandescent lamp “turn down.” 

It is just as necessary and reasonable to moderate electric light as to regu¬ 
late the brightness of oil light, gas light, or sun light, but there was no successful 
turn-down electric globe until Phelps invented the HYLO. 

The HYLO lamp has two light-giving carbon threads. One is of the usual 
size, making 16 candle power. The other is exceedingly small, a “baby” filament, 
making only one candle power. The least little turn of the HYLO bulb will put out 
the Big Filament and light up the Baby. The mechanism which makes this change 
is part of the lamp itself and is so wonderfully simple that satisfactory operation is 
assured. 

HYLO BABY FILAMENT LAMP. 

1. Can be turned up and down—a simple twist of the wrist does it. 

2. Saves five-sixths of the light bill when turned down. 

3. Lasts as long as 3 ordinary lamps. 

4. Goes into any socket like an ordinary lamp. 

5. Takes up no more room than an ordinary lamp. 

6. May be moved from one socket to another. 

7. Can be used with any open shade or reflector. 

8. No skill is required to put up or operate. 

The two filaments of the HYLO have a combined life of 4,000 hours (1,000 for 
the big filament and 3,000 for the Baby.) The Baby filament takes so little current 
that it is not strained, and therefore lasts a very long time. 

The first cost of the HYLO is necessarily greater than an ordinary electric 
lamp, but the final cost is in most cases less. If the first cost of the HYLO is dis¬ 
tributed, it averages 2 to 3(4 cents per month per lamp. It is easy to see that a very 
small saving in current will offset a monthly expense of 3 cents. 

Stated in another way, a HYLO lamp, in the average bathroom or hall, will save 
enough current in two weeks’ time to pay for itself and leave all the comfort and 
current-saving after that as a clear profit. There is no comfort or real economy in 
total darkness and in fumbling for switches wherever you go. Six HYLO lamps 
turned down in six different rooms take no more current than one ordinary lamp and 
save ever so much time and temper.

A line of switches, neat in appearance and of greatly improved design, 
is illustrated herewith. The switches are compact, the mechanisms quick and 
positive in action, and the current carrying parts of ample area and cross sec¬ 
tion. The parts of the switches, both moving and stationary, are few, and 
are so thoroughly constructed that an exceedingly long life is assured. 

These switches have been subjected to the most severe mechanical and

Figure 537. 

Parts of Double Push Button Switch. 

The double push button, flush pocket switch is designed to meet all re¬ 
quirements. It has a maximum current carrying capacity of 10 amperes, is 
suitable for installation on 250-volt circuits and may be used in the standard 
outlet boxes manufactured for the reception of switches of this character. 

The essential qualities of devices of this kind are simplicity and durability 
combined with a positive and reliable action, and the manufacturers feel that 
these results have been attained. 

The mechanism, which is entirely enclosed in a strong porcelain box, in¬ 
sures a quick make and break, has liberal contact surfaces to prevent heating, 
and contains a small number of working parts. The positive action of the 
switch is accomplished through the agency of but one strong spiral spring, 
which, with the other distinctive features of the switch, precludes any possi¬ 
bility of sluggish action or loose parts. . , . 

One of the push buttons is finished in keeping with the cover of the 
switch, while the other is black, so that the position of the switch can be 
ascertained at a glance. The switch is easily wired from the front, and will 
withstand the most severe electrical and mechanical tests. . , , .. 

The standard finish is nickel, although other finishes can be furnished it 
desired. A cast iron wall pocket has been designed for use with these switches 
in connection with cleat or knob concealed wiring. Prices do not include 


the wall box.

Pendant Push Button Switches. 


The Pendant Push Button Switches are particularly adapted for use in 
connection with either permanent or temporary installations of incandescent 
lamps or fan motors. In locations where exposed wiring is necessary, the 
drop cord offers an arrangement of wiring much neater than can be obtained 
with the wall switch. 

The most desirable position for a fan motor is frequently not the most 
accessible, and in such cases conveniently located separate switches are desired. 

Switches are made for 5 and 10 amperes. They are models of strength 
and durability, and the construction is unusually compact and effective. The 
brass casing surrounds a porcelain body on which are mounted the terminals, 
contacts, and working parts of the switch. All contact surfaces are liberally 
proportioned and the mechanism of the switch is thoroughly reliable. 

The circuit is closed by pushing the rubber button which is attached to a 
metallic plunger, and is quickly opened by pressure on the release button at 
the side of the switch. 

The 5 ampere switch is inches in diameter, and the 10 ampere switch 
1 inches. The standard finish for switches of both sizes is polished brass.

CARTRIDGE FUSE CUT-OUTS.

Figure 578. 


Double Pole, Single Branch. 220 Volt, 30 Ampere. Double Pole, Main. 

Practical experience has demonstrated that an arc caused by opening a circuit 
should be entirely enclosed, and this principle has been adopted by a simple con¬ 
struction in the cartridge fuse cut-outs. The fuse passes from ferule to ferule 
through a fire-proof compound which is encased in a tube of tough insulating 
material. As soon as the fuse blows, the compound closes the path and renders an 
arc impossible.

Main Line and Branch Cut-Outs. 


The Edison Plug Cut-outs, which have been for so many years the standard 
indoor wiring device, are now manufactured with an increased capacity. The 
cut-out is strong and compact, with current carrying parts of ample capacity 
The screw shell is of the same general design as that of the smaller cut-outs, 
but is slightly deeper and has a greater diameter. The entire body of the 
plug is of porcelain, and is constructed on the well-known and successful 
cartridge fuse principle, but retains all of the characteristics of the Edison 
plugs. The metal cap is thoroughly insulted with composition, and can be 
readily removed for inspection of the fuse strips. The plugs are neat in ap¬ 
pearance and are made for 250 volt circuits, in capacities ranging from 10 to 
60 amperes. 

Capacities ranging from 10 to 60 amperes.

FLUTED STEEL PORCELAIN ENAMEL SHADE. 



Figure 636. 

The growing demand for Steel Porcelain Enameled Reflectors for use on 
arc and gas lamps prompts us to offer to the trade this design of steel shade, in 
the belief that it will fill a long felt want. 

This Reflector is 20 inches in diameter, with a 6 -inch fitter, the latter spec¬ 
ification conforming to the outer globes used on a large variety of arc lamps. 
It consists of but two pieces of steel, secured together without screws, rivets 
or seams, and constitutes the best and most durable enameled shade on the 
market. 

The material is of good gauge steel, covered with porcelain enamel, both 
top and bottom, applied at a temperature of about 1800 degrees F. The design 
of this shade is peculiarly adapted to the process of enameling in that it pre¬ 
vents distortion and warping. 

The corrugations furthermore strengthen the shade and result in better 
diffusion of light than can be obtained from plane surfaces.

THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO., 


WATCHMAN’S TIME DETECTOR. 



Designed to keep an exact record of 
the doings of the night watchman in any 
establishment where it is in use. The 
instrument, closed with a security lock, 
is placed in the office and connected by 
insulated wires to stations placed in 
different parts of the premises where the 
watchmen are required to pass. As the 
watchman passes on his rounds he oper¬ 
ates each station in turn, and this is 
instantly recorded in the Detector in the 
office, showing where each watchman is, 
and when he is at each station. 

The record is made on a paper dial, 
twelve inches in diameter (shown in cut), 
which revolves on time by a clock move¬ 
ment. The record is made by needles, 
each punching a hole through the paper 
dial; each needle is operated from its 
own station. If the station is visited a 
record is made; if not, no record is made. 

The effect of a watchman’s having to 
record his movements by a system that 
cannot be evaded is to keep a constant 
guard of the property and protect it 
from loss. If a watchman is compelled 
to do his duty, there is almost no possi¬ 
bility of a fire getting a start, and this is 
the ounce of Prevention , worth many 
pounds of cure. 

Any delinquency on the part of the 
watchman is inevitably shown, and the 
proprietor is not dependent upon the 
testimony of watchman or porter, office 
boy or fireman to know whether good 
service is returned for money paid out 
to watchmen. Good watchmen prefer 
having this clock, as it aids them in 
doing their work and they can thereby 
prove their faithfulness.

GAS LIGHTING APPARATUS. 


BATTERY CUT-OUT. 


We respectfully call attention to a reliable Battery Cut-Out low enough in 
price to be a paying investment for owners of even small battery plants. 

This Battery Cut-out has the following advantages, viz.: 

Owners of gas lighting batteries will often save its cost at only one cross, as they 
can easily find and remove a caught burner or chain, and restore it themselves with¬ 
out calling in an expert, to say nothing of saving renewals to their batteries; and a 
battery is never so good as before, if it has been short-circuited a while, even after 
renewal by an expert. 

Its use is not limited to gas lighting 
batteries. 

It will always disconnect and save 
the battery if the wires become, 
crossed. 

The Cut-out has been thoroughly 
tested and is giving complete satisfac¬ 
tion. 

The cover is a metal front. It can 
be easily removed by a slight twisting 
motion. The cover protects the works 
from dust and injury. 

Price $6.00.

“TOMPKINS” IMPROVED SIZE KETTLE. 



Figure 704. 

(Made in our shops.) 

The Size Kettle illustrated above was made to fill a demand for a starch 
mixer that will mix. 

The center set of knives is made stationary, while the upper and lower set 
revolve with the shaft. This insures perfect agitation. By the old plan the whole 
volume of starch revolves with the stirrer zvithout mixing. In the improved kettle 
the starch is thoroughly dissolved so that it can be incorporated in the yarn and not 
laid on the outside to be dusted off in passing through the loom. The yarn can be 
weighted with it if desired.

To find the capacity of a cylinder in gallons. —Multiplying the area in inches 
by the length of stroke in inches will give the total number of cubic inches; divide 
this amount by 231 (which is the cubical contents of a gallon in inches), and the 
product is the capacity in gallons. 

To find quantity of water elevated in one minute running at 100 feet of piston 
speed per minute. —Square the diameter of water cylinder in inches, and multiply by 
4. Example: Capacity of a five-inch cylinder is desired; the square of the diameter 
(5 inches) is 25, which, multiplied by 4, gives 100, giving gallons discharged per 
minute (approximately). 

To find the diameter of a pump cylinder to move a given quantity of water per 
minute (100 feet of piston travel being the speed), divide the number of gallons by 
4, then extract the square root, and the result will be the diameter in inches. 

To find the pressure in pounds per square inch, due to forcing a given quantity 
of water through a certain size of pipe, (table of Friction of Water in pipes page 
472). Add the amount of this friction to the pressure due to the height to which 
water is to be forced; the result is total water pressure. 

The area of steam piston multiplied by the steam pressure gives the total amount 
of pressure exerted. The area of the water piston multiplied by the pressure of 
water per square inch gives the resistance. A margin must be made between the 
power and resistance to move the pistons at the required speed; usually estimated 
at from 25 to 50 per cent. 

To find the pressure in pounds per square inch of a column of water, multiply the 
height of a column in feet by .431. Approximately every foot elevation is called 
equal to one-half pound pressure per square inch. 

To find the velocity in feet per minute necessary to discharge a given volume 
of water in a given time, multiply the number of cubic feet of water by 144, and 
divide the product by the area of the pipe in inches. 

To find the area of a required pipe, the volume and velocity of water being given, 
multiply the number of cubic feet of water by 144, and divide the product by the 
velocity in feet per minute. The area being found, it is easy to get the diameter of 
pipe necessary. 

The mean pressure of the atmosphere is estimated at 14.7 pounds per square 
inch. With a perfect vacuum, at sea level, it will therefore sustain a column of 
mercury 29.9 inches, or a column of water 33.9 feet. 

The friction of water in pipes increases with the square of its velocity. The 
capacity of pipes increases with the square of their diameter, thus doubling the 
diameter increases the capacity four times. 

To find the horsepower required to elevate water to a given height, multiply the 
total weight of the water in pounds by the height in feet, and divide the product by 
33,000. An allowance should be made of 25 per cent for water friction; also about 
25 per cent for loss in steam pipe and cylinder. 

Capacity of pipes: A pipe one yard long holds as many pounds of water as the 
square of its diameter, in inches. Thus a 6-inch pipe holds 36 pounds of water in 
each yard of length.

USEFUL INFORMATION (Continued). 

The weight of coal equivalent in heat production to one ton of dry wood is 
figured to be 836 pounds. 

Factor of safety for a laced belt is one-sixth its breaking weight for leather, and 
one-eighth for rubber. 

An acid-proof cement that will withstand a high temperature might be made of 
litharge and glycerine. 

The strongest explosive power of gasoline vapor is made by a mixture of one 
part vapor to eight parts air; of crude oil illuminating gas, one part gas to six parts 
of air. 

A belt traveling 3500 feet per minute will require a tension of but 9)4 pounds for 
each inch in width in order to transmit 1 h. p, and one having a width of 100 -f- 9 . 5 = 
10.5 inches, will transmit 100 h. p. 

Common iron castings may be coppered by dipping the absolutely clean castings 
into a solution of 1)4 pound copper sulphate in water to which one ounce sulphuric 
acid has been added, the articles so coppered being subsequently washed and dried. 

To find the length of a roll of belting (approximately): Take the sum of the 
diameter of the roll and the “eye” in inches, multiply this by the number of turns or 
laps made by the belt, and this product multiplied by the decimal .1309 will equal 
the length of the belt in feet. 

The American standard boiler horse power as adopted is: Thirty pounds of 
water evaporated per hour at a boiler pressure of seventy pounds, the temperature 
of the feedwater being 100 ° Fahrenheit. For example, a boiler evaporates 300 
pounds of water per hour, boiler pressure seventy pounds, feedwater 100 ° Fahrenheit, 
then the boiler would be 300 - 4 - 30=10 h. p. 

A strip of single belting, 1 inch wide and 13 feet long, weighs, approximately, 
one pound, and a similar strip of double belting, 8 feet long, also weighs a pound; so 
that the weight of a belt may be estimated by multiplying the width in inches by 
length in feet, and dividing the product by 13 for single and 8 for double belts; the 
quotient will be the weight in pounds. 

Another aluminum solder recently made public by the issue of patent privilege, 
is composed of aluminum, 5 parts; antimony, 5 parts, and zinc, 90 parts. The alum¬ 
inum is first melted and then the zinc is added, after which the antimony. The alloy 
is thoroughly puddled with sal-ammoniac until the surface is clear and white. It is 
then poured into bar molds, making it ready for use. 

Aluminum, because of possessing the property of forming under whetting action 
a very fine mass to which steel strongly adheres, is being used for manufacture of 
whetstones. A steel blade sharpened on aluminum, when examined by microscope 
at 1,000 diameters, shows the cutting edge perfectly uniform and unbroken—not ser¬ 
rated, as steel whetted on stone. 

To fined the length of belt needed when you have the diameters of the pulleys, 
and the distance between the centers of the shafts, multiply half the sum of pulley 
diameters by 3.2 and add twice the distance between the centers of the shafts. This 
result is usually near enough for practical purposes. If, however, the diameters are 
very different and the centers short the result will be too small. If the pulleys are 
exactly the same diameter multiply by 3.416 instead of 3 . 2 .

STEAM AND HEAT. 

(William Kent, A. M., M. E.) 

The Temperature of Steam in contact with water depends upon the pressure 
under which it is generated. At the ordinary atmospheric pressure (14.7 lbs. per 
sq. in.) its temperature is 212 0 F. As the pressure is increased, as by the steam 
being generated in a closed vessel, its temperature, and that of the water in its 
presence increases. 

Saturated Steam is steam of the temperature due to its pressure—not super¬ 
heated. 

Superheated Steam is steam heated to a temperature above that due to its 
pressure. 

Dry Steam is steam which contains no moisture. It may be either saturated or 
superheated. 

Wet Steam is steam containing intermingled moisture, mist or spray. It has 
the same temperature as dry saturated steam of the same pressure. 

Heat Required to Generate 1 lb. of Steam from water at 32 0 F.: 

Sensible heat to raise the water from 32 0 to 212 0 — 180.9 

Latent heat, 1st, of the formation of steam at 212 0 = 894. 

2nd. of expansion against the atmospheric pressure, 

2116.4 lbs. per sq. ft. X 26.36 cu. ft. = 55.786 foot lbs. -f- 778 = 71.7 965.7 

Total heat above 32 0 F., 1146.6 

The Heat Unit or British Thermal Unit is the quantity of heat required to 
raise the temperature of 1 lb. of water i° F. at or near its temperature of maximum 
density (39.1 F.). 

One Heat Unit is equivalent to 778 foot pounds of energy.

HORSE-POWER OF AN ENGINE. 


Formula for calculating: 

A X P X 2 h X N 


33,000 

A = Area of piston in square inches. 

p = Average pressure of steam during one stroke, or “mean effective pressure,” 

L Length of stroke in feet. 

N = Number of revolutions in one minute. 

A = Area of piston = the square of the diameter X 7854. 

p — Average pressure or mean effective pressure is the average pressure on the 
piston during one stroke. 

The average or mean effective pressure is frequently taken at half the boiler 
pressure for non-condensing engines at % cut-off or 40 per cent, at Ys cut-off. Con¬ 
densing adds 10 to 12 lbs. to the mean effective pressure. 


COAL CONSUMPTION. 

With fair working boilers different types of engines require Tuel about as 
follows: 

Plain slide valve engine.6 lbs. per H. P. per hour. 

Simple Corliss engine, non-condensing . . 3^. “ “ “ 

Simple Corliss engine, condensing .... 2Y2 “ “ “ 

Compound Corliss engine, non-condensing . 2 Y2. 

Compound Corliss engine, condensing . . 1^ 


ECONOMY OF STEAM ENGINES. 


Although the reduction of the fuel bill is the object aimed at in steam engineer¬ 
ing, it is not possible to fairly gauge the performance of the engine itself by the 
amount of coal consumed, the reason being that this is dependent upon the quality of 
the fuel, the skill of the fireman, efficiency of the boiler, heater, etc., style of furnace, 
kind of grates, amount of draught, and all of the conditions affecting the economy of 
the steam plant taken as a whole. 

Therefore, it is the rule to determine the economy of the engine by measuring 
the amount of water consumed per horsepower per hour. As the evaporation of a 
given quantity of water will always produce the same quantity of steam, this af¬ 
fords a fair method of comparison between different engines working under the same 
conditions. 

The economy of different types of engines working under suitable boiler pres¬ 
sures may be stated in the following terms of pounds of steam per indicated horse¬ 


power per hour: 

Plain Slide Valve Engines.50 

Simple Corliss Engines, non-condensing.26 

Simple Corliss Engines, condensing.20 

Compound Corliss Engines, non-condensing.20 

Compound Corliss Engines, condensing.16 


It is, of course, understood that the above results are to be obtained under 
favorable conditions of size, relation of size to load, speed, steam pressure, tempera¬ 
ture of condensing water, etc.

The drafts in these tables allow for contraction and waste. 

Contraction in spinning is variable according to stock and twist. 
Allowances above are for average warp twist. In spinning filling the 
drafts should be 3 to 5 points less than in table. 

This table is made to illustrate the variations that can be made 
within the limits of practical drafts on each machine. The range of 
draft for each machine makes the combinations that are practicable well 
nigh infinite. At each separate process different superintendents might 
differ in opinion. Some might prefer more draft at the card and less at 
the slubber, or more at the spinning and less in the roving. It becomes 
evident, therefore, that the table can only be worked out for exhibiting 
to students and apprentices what is the ordinary range in practice. 
Experinced superintendents will in most cases have preferences of their 
own, based upon their practice.

The horse powers in above table are based upon average results as 
observed in actual operations of Southern mills. It is theoretically 
possible, by having machinery in perfect order, to run with less. In 
calculating the power necessary to operate any particular mill, the 
machines should be listed with the power, as above set opposite. The 
sum total should be increased by 15 per cent, as an average allowance 
for friction. 


The following list shows approximate power required for whole mill 
for average Southern conditions:

The production is calculated on an average of 10 per cent, allowance. 

The warp twist is calculated at 4.75 times the square root of the number, and the tilling at 3.25 
times the square root of the number. . , ., „ , . , , , 

The sizes of rings and travelers are inserted only to give a general idea. Exact sizes must depend 

° n C The front rolfspeeds are based on average conditions now existing in Southern mills. Other pub¬ 
lished tables give somewhat faster speed, especially for filling. But to maintain the above standard 
of twist, no considerable increase in production may be gained by speeds above those given.

Breaking strengths vary according to character of cotton from 
which yarn is made. They vary according to twist put in yarn. They 
appear to vary according to the way in which the testing machine is 
used. 

The above strengths are about the average for the kind of cotton 
Used to make the designated numbers. 


COTTON MILL RULES. 

To find the “ hank ” of roving. 

Divide 100 by the weight in grains of 12 yards. 

To find the number of yarn.

To find circumference of a roll. 

Multiply diameter by 3.1416 or, for an approximation, 3 1-7. 

To find approximate production of spinning and roving machinery. 

Multiply diameter of front roll by the speed and divide by 16. Result is possi¬ 
ble hanks per spindle in 10 hours, without allowance for stops. 

Or, multiply diameter of front roll by speed, and divide by the hank or number. 
Result is possible ounces per spindle per day of 10 hours, without allowance for

all the drivers, (2) Multiply the diameter of back roll by all the drivens. Divide 
(1) by (2). 

To find draft constant on spinning or roving frame. 

Proceed as in last rule, leaving the draft gear out of the calculation. 

To find twist on spinning frame. 

Consider gear on front roll the driver. (1) Multiply diameter in cylinder by 
all the drivers. (2) Multiply diameter of spindle whorl by all the drivens and by 
circumference of front roll. Divide (1) by (2). 

To find twist constant on spinning frame. 

Proceed as in last rule, leaving twist gear out of the calculation. 

To find draft gear to use 'when changing from one number to another. 

Multiply number being spun by draft gear in use. Divide by number to be 
spun. 

To find tu ist gear to use when changing from one number to another. 

Multiply twist gear in use by the twist per inch in the stock being spun. 
Divide by twist per inch in the stock to be spun. 

Or multiply twist gear in use by square root of number being made. Divide by 
square root of number to be made. 

Note. —The rule now in common use is as follows: “Multiply square of twist 
gear in use by number being spun. Divide by number to be spun. Extract square 
root of result.” 

This involves the work of squaring a number and of taking square root of a 
number. The rule in the text only involves looking up square roots of yarn (or 
roving) numbers in the tables.

HORSE-POWER TO DRIVE OIL MILL 
ELEVATORS. 


The approximate horse-power required to elevate a given quantity of material 
may be obtained by the following rule: 

The capacity of elevators being generally given in bushels per hour, find the 
number of pounds elevated per hour by multiplying the number of bushels by the 
weight of each bushel; dividing this by 60 will give the number of pounds lifted per 
minute. 

Multiply the number of pounds lifted per minute by the height of the elevator 
and divide the product by 33,000. The result will give the theoretical horse-power 
necessary, to which should be added 50 per cent, for friction. 


HORSE-POWER TO DRIVE OIL MILL 
CONVEYORS. 


The approximate horse-power required to drive Caldwell Conveyors maybe 
determined by the following rule: 

The capacity of conveyor being generally given in bushels per hour, find the 
weight of the material to be carried by multiplying the number of bushels by the 
weight per bushel. Divide by 60 to find the weight to be carried per minute. Mul¬ 
tiply the result by the length of the conveyor in feet, divide the product by 33,000 
and divide by 3. The result will be the liorse-power required.

BOYS AND YOUNG MEN. 

We get inquiry, multifold, from boys, young men, fathers, mothers, other rela¬ 
tives and friends asking for advice about the best course for the boys and young 
men to pursue to insure success in life. In many, many cases we are asked to 
undertake the guidance of these boys and young men. Many of them offer to go to 
work for nothing or promise to carry out our recommendations to the letter, no 
matter what they are. 

These suggestions or requests come sometimes by letter, often by visits and 
word of mouth, and in other ways. We are deeply impressed with the earnestness 
and the zeal of the boys and young men. In many cases this zeal is short-lived. 
Perhaps it is in most cases short-lived. On the other hand it is, in many cases, 
earnest and life-long and of enduring quality. 

Many of the young college men have the highest promise of usefulness. These 
will in time command position and emolument. Very many college men are al¬ 
ready irredeemable victims of the delusion that their college education entitles 
them to position and salary and that it ought to command both. The thing which 
most parents are willing to spend money for, in the name of education, in preparation, 
in the way of teaching and training for their sons, is: (i) to make easily and com¬ 
fortably a good living for themselves and families; ( 2 ) such other success as the 
best teaching and training, together with natural endowments, lead to. The parent 
is usually chiefly concerned about the first only. In all consideration of this sub¬ 
ject the second clause of the above purpose may be entirely omitted here because it 
concerns so very few and because those who pass the first condition don’t need any 
advice as to the second which acts automatically or not at all. 

The planter’s son, in ante-bellum days, had better training and teaching to 
prepare him for his future life than, perhaps, any other class in the nineteenth 
century. From the very Cradle he began an apprenticeship in the trade of agricul¬ 
ture. From the cradle to the beginning of his college days he lived in close con¬ 
tact with the trade and with the labor which he would be subsequently called upon 
to control and direct. Whether he was required to do so or not he would, as a boy, 
learn to plow, chop out cotton, flood or drain rice land, cure tobacco or gin cotton. 
He was a friend of all the labor on the home farm or plantation and also on ad¬ 
jacent plantations. He rode mules, raced horses, drove six-mule teams with one 
line, swam, hunted, fished, wrestled and otherwise labored and played with the 
negroes. He went to common country schools and at 16 years old was usually the 
most capable and resourceful practical working man on the plantation. If nobody 
else could ride a balking mule or plow a straight furrow over rough land, he could 
and he could in patience teach others. Add to this apprenticeship a college educa¬ 
tion and the product was usually a high class planter of cotton, rice, tobacco or 
sugar. All the young men who were sound of body and mind and had reasonable 
energy attained to this degree of success. Then those who were specially endowed 
with talents and energies or in whose way special opportunity came, achieved fame 
as soldiers, statesmen or in some of the professions. They were all well prepared 
to make the most of higher opportunity, or to live in patience if higher opportunity 
never came. 

In these modern times the conditions as to preparation surrounding success,, 
are still the same. Agriculture is not the monopoly it used to be. We are coming: 
to be ? people who are manufacturers. The boy "or youth who would succeed best 
in manufacture must be both practical and technical. He must serve an apprentice¬ 
ship and also, have some education 

Of two boys, one having served an apprenticeship but having no college educa-

THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO., 


tion, the other having a college edufcation but no practical training, the former is 
most useful and will in most cases make the best ultimate success. 

The boy having a modicum of training and a modicum of education is better 
than either. This is the one with a common school education and an apprenticeship 
or its equivalent in practical work. The best qualified youth of all is the one who 
has served a full apprenticeship and has a full technical education. 

Any ordinary machine shop, any ordinary cotton mill, any ordinary cotton oil 
mill, any ordinary furniture factory, any ordinary rolling mill, is good enough for 
the apprenticeship in manufactures, just as any ordinary farm is for agriculture. 
With rare exceptions, any college is good enough for the teaching. It is not neces¬ 
sary for the boy or youth to be working for or under the direction of a man who 
has already succeeded. It seems probable that this is actually injurious, because it is 
relied on as a factor in success whereas it has no important influence for advan¬ 
tage and perhaps some considerable for disadvantage. 

Review the biography of successful men and it is not once in a thousand times 
that success will be found due to a person having been a worker under a notably 
successful man. On the contrary the record of human success is more notably one 
of scant opportunity and hard labor. It is mostly a record of apprenticeship perforce, 
of the acquisition of knowledge under adverse influences, whether their teaching was 
at home by books and by the light of lightwood knots or in college with scant funds. 
The record shows that even the apprenticeship on a farm is far better than a col¬ 
lege education when each is taken separately but when taken together the product 
sweeps the field for success. 

We recommend that any boy who contemplates an occupation in industrial life 
be sent to the common schools up to the age of 15 years. That then he be ap¬ 
prenticed in some trade, such as machinist, pattern maker, moulder, carpenter, or 
other for a period of three years. That then he go to college, if the money is avail¬ 
able, for four years. That on graduation he go into a factory in the particular line 
he wishes to follow, cotton mill, oil mill, furniture factory, or other, for a period 
of two years. This would produce a young man at 24 to 25 years who would be 
competent to direct manufacture in his line and would command the respect of all 
decent labor and who could afford to ignore or control all other labor. 

A boy starting in on this course at 12 years of age and finishing at 24 years of 
age would never become infected with the thirst for position and advancement with 
which so many young college men are saturated. 

Invested capital and fame are both as shy as a worthy young girl of those who 
think that they can be attained easily. Neither ever heeds the knocks of those who 
are overconfident or impatient. Both love the man of achievement—the modest 
man. To him who can spin a better yarn or weave a better cloth than the average, 
who is interested in his work and faithful to his duty, capital and fame are alike will¬ 
ing slaves, indeed both are eager slaves. 

Whatever doubts may exist as to the advantages or disadvantages of col¬ 
legiate education, there is no doubt about the importance and value of practical 
training for a youth whether with or without a college education. There is no doubt 
that a common school education with a good apprenticeship makes a better qualifi¬ 
cation for a young man than does a college education without the practical training. 
The practice or apprenticeship is necessary to produce, (1) a physique capable of 
patient work without irksomeness; (2) a ripe sound judgment for dealing with all 
kinds of humanity, and (3) a knowledge that wages and salaries must be pro¬ 
portioned to results. 

Neither practical training nor technical education, nor both together, can give 
entirely satisfactory results for manufacturing pursuits, without the following qual-

ities besides, viz.: (i) Some natural endowment, (2) a good moral development, (3) 
enduring integrity, (4) persevering energy, and (5) a prudent judgment. 

All these qualities except the first are usually the product of home influences. 

Nothing here written is meant to deprecate college or other technical educa¬ 
tion. It is intended, however, to emphasize the importance of good practical train¬ 
ing in late boyhood and early youth in order that with or without a college educa¬ 
tion, a young man may start in life with that capability of self-support which all 
parents wish for their boys. 

Technical education is of tremendous advantage to the commonwealth regard¬ 
less of what value may accrue to the individual graduate. Every graduate, if he 
comes in contact with practical fellows, disseminates technical knowledge. The clear¬ 
headed practical fellow needs no more than a hint on a point here and a point there 
to enhance very much'his own efficiency and usefulness. To the graduate the edu¬ 
cation begins to become of leading advantage at an average of, say, 30 years of 
age. In the twenties the fellow who has had a common school education and a first- 
class practical training will usually surpass the college graduate. In the latter part 
of the twenties (years of age) the graduate begins to catch up with his practical 
competitors and his college education begins to work to his advantage. Other things 
being the same, the college graduate will after 30 years of age have the advantage. 
This assumes a college graduate who has had an apprenticeship in youth and who 
went practically to work after graduation. The graduate who has had no apprentice¬ 
ship or practical experience up to, say, 22 years of age, is heavily handicapped. 

It was, in former generations, the habit for parents to make their boys do some 
work even in their school periods. This is still more or less the habit of farmers in 
the country and it is notable that the boys from the farm are the best source of 
supply for positions which require good work and good sound judgment. In this 
time the parents who live in cities send their boys to schools punctiliously enough, but 
let them acquire a habit and a taste for loafing about town in any waking hours not 
required at school. In this lies the great harm to the boy. These boys go through 
the public schools and then through college and then want positions. What can 
these do? Absolutely nothing. The incapacity of these is emphasized by the fact 
that in many instances their teachers and the professors saturate them with the 
idea that the school and the college is the whole thing. In these cases the gradu¬ 
ates have this error to unlearn and some of them never get so far as to unlearn it. 
It is a hardship on the best of them to have to unlearn it. If the parent could be 
brought to make the boy learn, when yet a boy, what work is, and the teachers 
would refrain from emphasizing too much the value of education and emphasize 
more the importance of hard work, it would be an advantage in every particular in 
helping a young man to start in life. Teachers should especially avoid giving the 
idea to boys or young men that on graduation they will be qualified for and en¬ 
titled to “positions.” It should be made plain to students that a college course is 
only one of many factors in the education of a young man for a life-work and that 
there is much to do in the way of hard work before and after graduation to make 
a whole useful man. 

Happily, there is in the growing industrial system, ample room for all the young 
men who have practical training and can do things whether these have only a com¬ 
mon school education or a college education. And the more this industrial system 
grows large and strong the less room there is in it for the man who can work but 
knows nothing, or, for the man who is highly educated but who can do nothing. 

If the question arise in the mind of the reader as to what this subject has to do 
with our business we answer such interrogatory with the statement that in our 
regular mail we get many letters relating to this subject, and are interested in the 
future welfare of the boys and young men and also in the general development of 
the country’s resources.

AMERICAN COMMERCE: ITS EXPANSION. 

BY D. A. TOMPKINS. 

154 Pages. 

Price $1.00, Postpaid. 

This is a collection of addresses and pamphlets relating to the extension of for¬ 
eign markets for American manufactures. The cotton factories of the United States 
are now manufacturing more goods than can possibly be consumed in our home 
markets. It is, therefore, necessary that we reach out for the markets of the world. 

This book is a discussion of the ways and means for accomplishing these ends. 
All manufacturers should be interested in it. 

COTTON VALUES IN TEXTILE FABRICS. 

BY D. A. TOMPKINS. 

Price $2.50, Postpaid. 

This is a collection of actual samples of cloth, with descriptive matter and data, 
showing cost per yard and per pound. These costs are then tabulated in a way to 
show what the average cotton crop of the State of North Carolina would bring if 
manufactured into the various kinds of goods shown. 

Samples and figures show that there is an easy possibility of five billion dollars 
in a half million bale crop, if sufficient skill and industry are brought to bear on the 
subject. 

This book does not enter into methods of developing the skill and industry, but 
merely points out what immense resources are latent in cotton. 

Other books by this author show how the work may be accomplished.

THE D. A. TOMPKINS CO., 


This book was written as an answer to large numbers of letters Inquiring about 
the steps necessary to organize and build a new mill. There are so many factors 
which enter into a conscientious answer to the question that nothing short of a book 
could give a comprehensive answer. “Cotton Mill Commercial Features” gives the 
answer in every detail. 

COTTON AND COTTON OIL. 

BY D. A. TOMPKINS. 

494 Pages. 127 Engravings. 5 Colored Plates. 

Two Volumes, Bound Together. $7 5 ° Postpaid. 

Vol. One, Cotton, Bound Separately .... 5 00 
Vol. Two, Cotton Oil, Bound Separately ... 5 00 

vol. 1. 

Vol. I is a complete description of American methods of producing cotton, gin¬ 
ning it, and putting it on the market. 

Taking the ground as the farmer finds it, there are detailed specifications for 
preparing and fertilizing it, and planting the seed. 

Cotton ginning is elaborately treated and profusely illustrated. 

The different methods of baling cotton, including all of the round bale pro¬ 
cesses are fully described and illustrated. 

VOL. 11. 

Cotton seed oil manufacture and allied industries form Vol. II. Oil refining is 
carefully treated from both theoretical and practical standpoints. 

A branch of this subject is the manufacture of fertilizers, where cotton seed 
meal is an ingredient. The whole subject of fertilizer manufacture is described and 
illustrated. Sulphuric acid is used in the manufacture, and a description is given 
of the manufacture of sulphuric acid for this purpose. 

Another branch of the subject treated is the utilization of cotton seed products 
as food stuffs—the oil for man, and the meal and hulls for stocks.
